Ordinary things make me sleepy Same old stories same old scenes same little rules that everyone follows like they're somehow interesting You talk about your busy little day I try so hard to stay awake You tell me something completely normal and honestly I'm fading Please don't explain I've understood enough Your world is terribly complicated for something so wonderfully dull I need excitement I need sparkle I need something worthy of my attention Ordinary things make me sleepy So sleepy I'm barely keeping my eyes open If it's boring move it away If it's dull make it shine I have no intention of wasting my precious little time Ordinary things make me sleepy Wake me when something fabulous happens You say "Everybody does this" Exactly That's the problem Why would I want to do what everybody does? I was never designed for ordinary I was designed for dramatic entrances impossible standards and being admired for absolutely no reason Ordinary things make me sleepy Your little rules can wait I don't follow boring traditions I improve them I don't need a reason to want something extraordinary I simply know when something is beneath me Mm What's that? Something sparkling? I'm listening No? Oh Never mind Once I watched the stars dance across an endless sky I commanded light with a flick of my hand Now you offer me something perfectly ordinary and expect me to care Sweetheart I have seen eternity Your small talk has no chance Ordinary things make me sleepy So don't waste my time Bring me something beautiful Bring me something strange Bring me something that makes the whole world change Ordinary things make me sleepy I refuse to pretend they're not If I'm going to open my eyes give me a reason worth seeing Ordinary? No Next Wake me when it's interesting
