Papermoon - Ordinary girl

When I was just eight years old
My mother came to me and that's what she told me:
"You're somehow different, I don't know why
But if you want you'll reach the sky"

I grew up, searching my place
But soon I felt I was from outer space
What I needed was a friend
But no one really could understand me

I whish I was an ordinary girl
Living in an ordinary world
Playing all the ordinary games people play
Why can't I be the same

I came to school, felt like emprisoned
The teachers taught me things I didn't want to know
Felt like a fool, couldn't find the reason
To learn 'bout algebra instead of Marilyn Monroe

When I went out and everyone was partyin'
Was only me who felt like in the wrong place
I always wanted to be like everybody
With average thoughts and an average face

I whish I was an ordinary girl...
