Shelly's at the kitchen table Webprogrammierung Bonn Cup of coffee, the morning paper When he walks in she's so surprised To see the tears in his eyes He says "I love you, I'm so sorry But bigger dreams are waiting for me And I can't do this anymore Pay the bills, watch TV Day in, day out the same routine Mow the grass, fix the leak Just to fix it again We go to church, go to work So picture perfect that it hurts I feel like I'm trapped inside This ordinary life" Shelly's at the kitchen table Crayons, construction paper Hey, Mom, look what I drew It's a picture of me and you Later when he says his prayers She runs her fingers through his hair So thankful for every day They pay the bills, watch TV Day in, day out it's all they need Mow the grass, fix the leak Just to fix it again They go to church, go to school Every day is something new Precious are the days as they go by In their ordinary life Phone rings, he's calling from the airport It's midnight, he's all alone again He says "I can't believe how much I've missed And what I wouldn't give To pay the bills, watch TV Day in, day out the same routine Mow the grass, fix the leak Just to fix it again Go to church, go to work I can't tell you how this hurts I miss my son, I miss my wife And my ordinary life
