I stood under Ohio's skies
See the open fields for miles
I thought what the hell am I doing
back here again
Now I'm trying to reassemble the things
I kept and the pictures fade but
I hope ressurect the things that kept me sane back there

In the backyard playing on the swing set
Dark green shoes off
You can get your feet wet
Mom and dad sat quiet in the sun room
Sun down, big moon, big sky

I just want to live a normal life
Get a fast car and a pretty wife
We could have children of our own
Settle down here until they're grown
We could buy a house out on the beach
And just die there out of reach
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live a normal life with me?

For years I cursed these dead end streets
No where to go no one to meet
We only talked about the
crazy woman down the road
Everything makes more sense now
Someday I'll have my own house
I'll make enough to make it
easier to pay the phone bill

In the backyard playing on the swing set
Dark green shoes off
You can get your feet wet
My wife and I sit quiet in the sun room
Sun down, big moon, big sky

I just want to live a normal life
Get a fast car and a pretty wife
We could have children of our own
Settle down here until they're grown
We could buy a house out on the beach
And just die there out of reach
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live a normal life

I'll watch the kids till you get home
4:58 and you're on the phone
Coming back from work on Friday
Wide awake in the American dream
I'll make the bed
You feed the cat
Could it really be as simple as that?

Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live a normal life with me?

I just want to live a normal life
Get a fast car and a pretty wife
We could have children of our own
Settle down here until they're grown
We could buy a house out on the beach
And just die there out of reach
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live a normal life
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live
Do you wanna live a normal life with me?
