Story Behind The Song
i wrote this for my girlfriend, whom i affectionately call "female". i recorded it at home and played everything and produced it too. the funny thing is that i had to ignore my girlfriend the whole time i was working on it (she can be rather distracting...) and so even though the song is about her, she was pretty pissed at me by the time it was finished. ha ha!
Song Description
this is a strange 6/4 shuffle thing. i guess people don't do this kind of feel with pop music very often. i like it because it goers through lots of changes and textures. what it really needs is a real drummer who plays like Animal from the Muppets. imagine if Creed and Zeppelin smoked some pot and recorded a song...

Lyrics
ordinary world
i've been waiting out for you to say
for whatever dreams may come my way
i had a thought today
i saw an easy wave
a hand in a cloud of inspiration
you're like a dream on the tips of my fingers
hope for the wish of the damned
give me a clue where in this crazy world i can find you
one wish
the kiss from an ordinary girl
an ordinary girl
this christmas
i wish for an ordinary girl
is it to much just to wish for an ordinary girl
i saw a sign today
for a wishing well guaranteeing salvation
for meaningful donations
ordinary world
i've been thinking hard about yesterday
for whatever dreams i led astray
you're like smoke from the lips of an angel
warm like her toes in the samd
give me a clue where in this crazy world i can find you
one wish
the kiss from an ordinary girl
an ordinary girl
this christmas
i wish for an ordinary girl
is it too much to wish for an ordinary girl
