lyrics

Shallow water jump right in

I've seen worse things

I've seen worse things

Politicians want to race towards something greater

I'd rather sit here on the couch writing songs

Or maybe you want to believe in me

And I can't leap tall buildings in a single bound

Tomorrow I'll wake up and everything will feel the same

That noone cares about

That you don't care about

Or maybe you want to believe

In super heroes jumping buildings


I'm just an average guy

And I just want average things

A stove in the kitchen

A room just for sittin' and watchin' tv

And I can't leap tall buildings in a single bound

But I can go to sleep knowing

Tomorrow I'll wake up and

Everything will be the same


Look in the mirror and

Punch through the glass

Cut up your hand so that

All the girls will think you're a bad boy

Play music so loud in your headphones

That everyone near you can hear you and fear you

When I see guys like you

I want to shed a tear


Cuz


I'm just an average guy

And I just want average things

A stove in the kitchen

A room just sittin' and watchin' tv

And I can't leap tall buildings in a single bound

But I can go to sleep knowing

Tomorrow I'll wake up and everything will feel the same


This system was made to mess me up

This system was made to interrupt

The things I've got goin' on

The things that I have been working so hard for

And I want to make my friends all happy

I want to be successful in ten years

I want to make my family proud

And I'm tryin' to figure out how

But

I'm just an average guy

And I just want average things

A stove in the kitchen

A room just sittin' and watchin' tv

And I can't leap tall buildings in a single bound

But I can go to sleep knowing

Tomorrow I'll wake up and everything will feel the same

Tomorrow I'll wake up and everything will feel the same

Tomorrow I'll wake up and everything will feel the same
