[00:14.59]Shelly's at the kitchen table, cup of coffee the morning paper
[00:23.33]When he walks in she's so surprised to see the tears in his eyes
[00:30.72]He says, "I love you, I'm so sorry, but bigger dreams are waiting for me
[00:38.47]But I can't do this anymore
[00:45.19]Pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine
[00:53.00]Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again
[01:00.41]We go to church, go to work, so picture perfect that it hurts
[01:08.93]I feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life"
[01:27.02]Shelly's at the kitchen table, crayons, construction paper
[01:34.50]"Hey Mom, look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you"
[01:41.79]And later when he says his prayers, she runs her fingers through his hair
[01:50.06]So thankful for every day
[01:55.86]They pay their bills, watch TV, day in, day out, it's all they need
[02:03.74]Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again
[02:12.92]They go to church, go to school, everyday it's something new
[02:22.67]Precious are the days as they go by in their ordinary life
[02:33.61]Phone rings, he's calling from the airport
[02:40.72]It's midnight, he's all alone again
[02:48.64]He says, "I can't believe how much I've missed
[02:57.64]And what I wouldn't give
[03:03.51]To pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine
[03:10.35]Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again
[03:18.28]Go to church, go to work, I can't tell you how this hurts
[03:28.63]I miss my son, I miss my wife and my ordinary life"
