[Intro: Ryan Tedder]
Today I took a walk in the clouds
Today I took a walk in the clouds
Used to keep my eyes wide shut
But now I'm staring down

[Verse 1]
Today I felt a switch in my veins
Today I felt a switch in my veins
Used to be a shadow
Now the shadows scream my name

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the daylight, I could swear
We’re the same

[Chorus]
But I’m just an ordinary human
Ordinary ways
I’m just an ordinary human
But I don’t feel so ordinary today
I’m just your picture perfect nothing
Sometimes I medicate
I’ll be a picture perfect human
Before the sun comes down today

[Verse 2]
Today I felt a switch in my vein
Today I made them all afraid
Used to be a shadow
Now the shadows scream my name

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the daylight, I could swear
We’re the same

[Chorus]
But I’m just an ordinary human
Ordinary ways
I’m just an ordinary human
But I don’t feel so ordinary today
I’m just your picture perfect nothing
Sometimes I medicate
I’ll be a picture perfect human
Before the sun comes down today
I’m just an ordinary human
But I don't feel so typical
(No)
Today

[Instrumental interlude]

[Bridge]
There'll be peace in the city tonight
Peace in the city tonight
But when I'm gone
I hope they get it right
There'll be peace in the city tonight
Peace in the city tonight
And when I'm gone
I hope they get it right

[Bridge and Chorus]
(Just an ordinary human)
They'll be peace in the city tonight
(Ordinary ways)
Peace in the city tonight
(I'm an ordinary human)
When I'm gone
(I don’t feel so ordinary today)
I hope they get it right

[Outro]
But when I'm gone
I hope they get it right

OneRepublic

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
