Life Story (Reprise) Lyrics by Jared Gertner

Ordinary Days (Original Cast Recording)

2010

[WARREN]
Everyone's got a
Big picture
That guides them through life
Toward what they want to be
So if everyone's got a
Big picture
How come my picture's something
That I still have yet to see?
This is a flyer
That's been in my backpack
For weeks now
Buried down deep
Getting faded and wrinkled
And torn
I have been making these flyers
'Til kingdom come
Writing all of these words
That now seem kind of dumb
And it's hard not to feel
That this isn't my real
Life story
I imagined I'd come here
And do something big
That the artist in me would prevail
But all I've done so far is copy these words
From some hippie downtown
Who's sitting in jail
Well...
This is a guy
Who cannot be described
As a quitter
This is a guy
Who should do
What he set out to do
You might snicker and laugh
That it's so cliché
To think making these means
I've got something to say
But I do, and that's why
I wish they could be my
Life story
My life story
My life—
[Phone rings.]
Deb!
