Carbon Leaf Life Less Ordinary Lyrics

Life Less Ordinary Lyrics





Live a life less ordinary

Live a life extraordinary with me

Live a life less sedentary

Live a life evolutionary with me

Well I hate to be a bother,

But it's you and there's no other, I do believe

You can call me naive but...

I know me very well (at least as far as I can tell)

And I know what I need



The night you came into my life

Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me

You blew away my storm and strife

And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me

By the way, I do know why you stayed away... 

I will keep tongue-tied next time



Live a life less ordinary

Live a life extraordinary with me

My face had said too much

Before our hands could even touch

To greet a 'hello'

(So much for going slow...)

A little later on that year

I told you that I loved you dear

What do you know?

This you weren't prepared to hear

I'm a saddened man, I'm a broken boy

I'm a toddler with a complex toy

I've fallen apart, since the ambush of your heart



The night you came into my life

Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me

You blew away my storm and strife

And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me.

By the way, I do know why you stayed away

I will keep tongue-tied but...



Honey understand. I won't make demands

Honey understand. We could walk without a plan.

Honey understand. I won't rest in stone all alone

Honey understand. I'm all ready to go

But you already know...



Live a life less ordinary

Live a life extraordinary with me.

If I could name you in this song

Would it make you smile and sing along?

This is the goal: to get into your soul

If I could make you dance for joy

Could that be the second-chance decoy?

The bird-in-hand I would need

To help you understand?



The night you came into my life

well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me

You blew away my storm and strife

And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me

By the way I do know why you stayed away

I will keep tongue-tied next time
