We're not ordinary people

Sometimes I listen to songs I like and identify with them, but if you break it down line by line, we're looking at some messed up lyrics. So I was chilling to the sweet sounds of John Legend and thought it would be great if I went through his song line by line to see where I relate...

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love - these 4 lines are totally true
At times we get sick of love - you said it Mr Legend (is this his real name?)
It seems like we argue everyday - we do

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow - this couldn't be more true, you sing only the truth it seems
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first - I swear I try
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow - this sounds logical

We're just ordinary people - we are, but then again we're not really
We don't know which way to go - true
Cuz we're ordinary people - see above
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow - see above

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way - this describes my life like no other words ever have

I hang up you call - I do sometimes
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away - this has to be true
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay - yep

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow - for all: see above

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive - sometimes this means more than you know
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I

Before I started this, I just really liked the song. Now I realise it means more to me than I ever knew.

Its given me something to think about and something to sing along to.

Peace.
