Didn't matter at the start until I realized it did
I'm flying in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream
I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream
Ordinary dream
Ordinary dream
