Story Behind the Song
this is a song about the gulf that often exists between our hopes and our realities...maybe people don't forget their dreams but they learn to live without them...how do you deal with that as you find yourself becoming more and more constricted under the everyday constraints of adult life...the character in this has no answers all he knows is that he feels an emptiness somewhere inside of him that he cannot name...
Lyrics
ordinary day, ordinary life
wish i could say that it means that much to me
i've got my kids, i've got my wife
can't help but feel that there's so much more to me
well love came along
and how much longer can you sing the same song
when you breathe what you see
but what the hell are you supposed to do
when your stars start falling down
a cry for yesterday
only seems to take me down
i'm on my way
a cry for yesterday
only seems to take me down, down, down, down
ordinary pay, ordinary strife
i can't recall when my dreams last felt real to me
i'm up at six, before it's light
i've got bills to pay
gotta live consistently
well love came along
and how much longer can you sing the same song
when you breathe what you see
but what the hell are you supposed to do
when your starts start falling down
a cry for yesterday
only seems to take me down
i'm on my way
a cry for yesterday
only seems to take me down, down, down, down
all the way down
ordinary day, ordinary life
wish i could say that it means that much to me
i've got my kids, a pretty wife
can't help but feel that there's so much more to me
so much more to me
so much more to me
