I have been in love for most of my adult life
With people and with things that gave me pleasure
Happiness and insecurity were my reward
The ones that I have loved, I'll love forever
I’m just an ordinary man
Trying to make some sense of what I’m supposed to be
I opened up my big Ferrari heart
To give my life some kind of quality
Mother, father, children, brother, wife, good friends and lovers
Men in musical arms to name the few
My love I’ve spread like sweetened jam to fortify my soul
And navigate a way through life that’s true
Mother said that happiness will help to build your dreams
Greed will only bankrupt a soured soul
Respect comes like a ship that sails, and fails to run aground
Respect comes to a man who pays the toll
I'm just a simple working man
Just trying to be the best that I could be
I broke my big Ferrari heart
Letting down the ones who mean the most to me
Love is like the deepest widest ocean
Dividing into smaller stormy seas
I swam against the tide and stopped, but just before I drowned
Your spirit came to cleanse my soul, then turned and smiled at me
Now I can live again
It's taken me, the better part of twenty brilliant years
To realise where I've been going wrong
Priorities and luxuries have skewed my selfish dreams
Waiting for the next buzz to come along
I was a quiet kind of man
I dreamed of riches and celebrity
I let loose my big Ferrari heart
I lost sight of who I really should have been.
Love is like the deepest widest ocean
Dividing into smaller stormy seas
I swam against the tide and stopped, but just before I drowned
Your spirit came to cleanse my soul, then turned and smiled at me
Now I can live again
Love is like the deepest widest ocean
Dividing into smaller stormy seas
I swam against the tide and stopped, but just before I drowned
Your spirit came to cleanse my soul, then turned and smiled at me
Now I can live again
I, have been in love for most of my adult life
With people and with things that gave me pleasure
Happiness and insecurity were my reward
The ones that I have loved, I'll love forever
