Your face is wild
Emotion playing shows
My eyes, they wait
I'm trying not to show what I'm thinking, dear
But you always seem to know
My walls disappear

So I try, then I try
Still you see I'm not alright
Well is bright
What I keep in
Coming out like rays of light
So what I don't mind
Take my ordinary side
Until you'll lighten up my day
I think I'll never get it right
So what?
So what?

It's always been a tidal tug-of-war
Get up, fall down
And pleasure to endure
But you draw me out
Across the ups and downs
Find that middle ground

So I try, then I try
Still you see I'm not alright
Well is bright
What I keep in
Coming out like rays of light
So what I don't mind,
Take my ordinary side
Until you'll lighten up my day
I think I'll never get it right

Things get so unreal
How do you think straight
When you lose your point of view
I know what's right
I'm gonna be that tonight

So I try, then I try
Still you see I'm not alright
Well is bright
What I keep in
Coming out like rays of light
So what I don't mind,
Take my ordinary side
Until you'll lighten up my day
I think I'll never get it right
So what?
So what?
So what?
Oh
