Ordinary Girl

Papermoon

When I was just eight years old

My mother came to me and that´s what she told me:

"You´re somehow different, I don´t know why,

but if you want you´ll reach the sky"



I grew up, searching my place

but soon I felt I was from outer space

What I needed was a friend

but no one really could understand me



I whish I was an ordinary girl

living in an ordinary world

playing all the ordinary games people play

why can´t I be the same



I came to school, felt like emprisoned

the teachers taught me things I didn´t want to know

Felt like a fool, couldn´t find the reason

to learn ´bout algebra instead of Marilyn Monroe



When I went out and everyone was partyin´

was only me who felt like in the wrong place

I always wanted to be like everybody

with average thoughts and an average face



I whish I was an ordinary girl...
