Lyrics

I think my coffee’s a little too bitter today
My nearest pub is a forty minute walk away
My friends from school have all found their inner peace
They work all day then go home to their families
I guess I’m lucky to a certain degree

‘Cause I’m not quite rich and I’m not quite poor
Always wanting less when I get a bit more
Don’t know what the money I’m saving is for
But I’m keeping an open door

CHORUS:
I’m gonna get out of the ordinary
And leave the past behind
These backend suburbs have got me running
circles ‘round my mind
Gonna set the wheels in motion
Down the path I’ve chosen
Breaking from the solitary
I’m getting out of the ordinary

Outside the market and grocers on a Saturday
You’d hear me strumming the chords I taught myself to play
Over the traffic I’d amplify my voice
And at the end I’d count up the notes and coins
The pros and the cons of being self-employed

Now the music inside me is still ringing out
But the traffic keeps coming and it gets so loud
Well, I’ll keep strumming and I’ll stand my ground
‘Cause they can’t knock me down

CHORUS

Well I can’t have a manger with nothing to manage
Can’t buy the horse when I don’t have the carriage
The love in my heart won’t lead to a marriage
’til I finally decide
To love myself and conquer the fear inside

I’m gonna get out of the ordinary
And leave the past behind
These backend suburbs have got me running
circles ‘round my mind
All this stress is circumstantial
It’s time to take a gamble
I'm breaking from the solitary
I’m getting out of the ordinary

I think my coffee’s a little too bitter today
