Song of the Week : Ordinary Day- Vanessa Carlton

Okay, one morning I fell in love with a song :) 

It's called "Ordinary Day" by Vanessa Carlton. When I heard the first few notes and words, I was immediately stunned. I shall put the beautiful lyrics. 

I haven't been able to relate to a song this much in a while. I love her voice in this song and how she sings the words. 

I think this is a song that teenage girls are able to relate. For me it tells about not taking things for granted and seeing the beauty in things. A day can just be an ordinary one, unless you live it to the fullest :) 

Then there's just the whole romantic aspect of the song too. It's like she's falling in love with this boy who's taking her into living her life to the fullest. And to everyone's eyes he's just an ordinary boy. She knows that but because she seems to be mesmerized by him. 

Just an ordinary boy.

But he was looking to the sky.

And as he asked if I would come along

I started to realize

That everyday he finds

Just what he's looking for,

Like a shooting star he shines.

And she talks to him like she does with any other guy but there's something about him. She feels things around him that she has never felt before. And when she hears him speaks she's saying that it's as if he could heal anything and everything, maybe her own wounds. She also says that he's too good to be true and maybe it's all just a dream. But when she wakes up she realizes that it's real, that he's real, and he takes her to different stages of her life allowing her to really live her life to the fullest. 

Vanessa's song has really deep lyrics, we might not know it as how she does but this is what I think :) 

Anyways, here are the full lyrics :) 

"Ordinary Day"

Just a day,

Just an ordinary day.

Just trying to get by.

Just a boy,

Just an ordinary boy.

But he was looking to the sky.

And as he asked if I would come along

I started to realize

That everyday he finds

Just what he's looking for,

Like a shooting star he shines.

He said take my hand,

Live while you can

Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words

Although they did not feel

For I felt what I had not felt before

And you'd swear those words could heal.

And as I looked up into those eyes

His vision borrows mine.

And I know he's no stranger,

For I feel I've held him for all of time.

And he said take my hand,

Live while you can

Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

In the palm of your hand.

Please come with me,

See what I see.

Touch the stars for time will not flee.

Time will not flee.

Can you see?

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.

As I wake in bed

And the boy, that ordinary boy

Or was it all in my head?

Did he asked if I would come along

It all seemed so real.

But as I looked to the door,

I saw that boy standing there with a deal.

And he said take my hand,

Live while you can,

Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

In the palm of your hand,

In the palm of your hand.

Just a day, just an ordinary day

Just trying to get by.

Just a boy,

Just an ordinary boy.

But he was looking to the sky.
