So what if I don't know
The next place my mind's supposed to go?
No direction and no drive
On paper I'm barely alive
No answer 'cause there's no call
There's nothing going on at all
I know when I sing this song
The words might not be too strong
The world might not sing along
But who knows, maybe they might
If I get the melody just right
If I get it right

'Cause I'm just singing my ordinary life
I just wish the world would sing with me sometimes
Yeah, I'm just singing my ordinary life
I just wish the world would sing with me sometimes

Who knows what I might find
In the backwoods of my mind?
I'm not answering your call
Just lost in thought that's all
And I know when I sing this song
The words might not be too strong
The world might not sing along
But who knows, maybe they might
If I get the melody just right

'Cause I'm just singing my ordinary life
I just wish the world would sing with me sometimes
Yeah, I'm just singing my ordinary life
I just wish the world would sing with me sometimes
sometimes

'Cause I'm just singing my ordinary life
I just wish the world would sing with me sometimes
Yeah, I'm just singing my ordinary life
I just wish the world would sing with me sometimes
sometimes
sometimes
