Ordinary People (featuring Sine Bach Rüttel)

Written by: Andreas S Jensen/Joe Killington



The song is about being in a relationship and then suddenly and unexpectedly getting very close to another person. An outsider. There’s an element of temptation and indecisiveness, the feeling that “the grass is always greener” but also regret and feelings of guilt, even though nothing has actually happened.


Broken dreams in a picture frame
forgotten faces and forgotten names
Deep regrets about a one time friend
Oh-oh Got too close
True confessions in a late night bar
carried away by the open fire
taking friendship just a bit too far
Oh-oh Gotta go


But we're only people
ordinary people
living life with people every day
Yeah, we're people,
disappointed people
making up with people on the way


Waking up with a guilty vibe
feeling ashamed of what you said last night
though you men't it doesn't make it right
Oh-oh should have known
Going backwards in a one way street
meeting up when we shouldn't meet
playing games for the fun of it
Oh-oh getting close


But we're only people
Ordinary people
living life with people every day
Yeah, we're people,
disappointed people
making up with people on the way


Bad mistakes that I might have made
running off when I should have stayed
feeling sorry for the things I said
Oh-oh- Well, you know


Here I am in an open shell
Trynna explain everything I felt
Feeling sorry yeah, do you as well ?
Oh-oh Let it go because you know


We're only people
ordinary people
living life with people every day
Yeah, we're people,
disappointed people
making up with people anyway
