We are Ordinary People

In a course of my job,many a times I've come across questions that made me answer for the heck of answering, yet manage to keep me awake some nights, actually pondering over it. One of the frequently asked question is "How do we make it in a relationship? What is the secret to it's longevity? Wait, that is two question. Oh well, perhaps they are redundant, but you get my point.

I've been in quite a few relationships, yet, no, I have no idea why things turn out well, or why they turn and headed through the door. I would however, have an idea of what makes me want to stay and play, and what makes me flee. Well, if you've been in enough relationships and manage to savor the last piece of your heart from crushing, even if you don't know what you are looking for in a partner, you sure as hell know what you don't!!

Then along came John Legend. When I heard his song, Ordinary People, it finally dawned to me...

Have a listen, if not browse through the lyrics below the video. Yea..yea..so I'm a control freak....sue me..

In a way, he answered some of my questions, if not all. Perhaps he will answer yours.
Maybe when someone ask me the question again, I'll just pass them this song in a CD and tell them, "Go figure....."



"Ordinary People"

[Verse 1]

Girl I'm in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby you and I

We are ordinary people
