Earworm of the week

Unlike Jason Kottke and other fellow bloggers who suffered earworm syndrome with Since U Been Gone#[1], my earworm of the week is “Life Less Ordinary” by Carbon Leaf.

Life Less Ordinary

Carbon Leaf

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 naïve, but
I know me very well at least
As far as I can tell and I know what I need

That night you came into my life
Well it took the bones of me,
You took the bones of me
You blew away my storm and strife
And shook the bones of me
You 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
Well, 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’m falling apart since the ambush on your heart

Honey understand
Honey understand
I won’t make demands
Honey understand
Honey understand
We could walk without a plan
Honey understand, honey
Honey understand
I won’t rest in stone all alone
Honey understand
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 with joy
Could that be the second chance to coy
The ‘bird in hand’ I would need to help you understand

What do you know, my life is kinda extraordinary =).
