    Chorus:
    We're just ordinary people
    We don't know which way to go
    'Cause we're ordinary people
    Maybe we should take it slow
    Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow
    Take it slow, oh-oh, this time we'll take it slow

    I lost my dad on March 4, 2023 and my life has been tough ever since. My parents were married for 33 years until he died. This upcoming Sunday, August 18th is their 34th wedding anniversary. Trusting God is easy to say but harder to actually do. Days are hard but God has been faithful. I’m in love with an amazing woman, got a handsome nephew and got a job that pays more than ever. Anyone out there going through a tough time just know Jesus loves you. He wants a relationship with you. You don’t have to be perfect. Just be open to him. Pray, read his word, keep his commandments and let your faith bear fruit by changing your personal conduct. It always gets darker before the dawn. You got this! I believe in you!

    After so many years of just repeating the lyrics, actually understanding the message as an adult can really bring tears to the eyes bc almost all of these scenarios are relatable, fortunately or unfortunately. It’s really a beautiful song to reflect on and remember live has its ups and downs but we gotta ride it out to see the outcome. We’re just ordinary people ❤❤❤

      @charmainevillamin4658 9 років тому +28

      Robert Magat Of course there is a basis of comparison, it's by the same artist and it has the theme of love. All of me has a four chord structure which can be boring to listen to after a while. I liked it when I first heard it but got sick of it after a few times. Whereas this song has a more interesting structure with specific lyrics and more passion. I know All of Me is about Chrissy Teigen but look at the lyrics, he never mentions what it is about her that captivated him. That song could be about any woman in the world. This does not discount the fact that writing a song for your wife is a very sweet gesture and good for him for doing it.

    As a teenage girl who had a lot of turmoil going on in her life at home as well as at school, I used to play this song and I used to watch this video. That young girl still lives inside the young woman I am today. All these years later it still pulls at my heart strings. I guess this was a song I would listen to to comfort that inner child. I'm glad to say I'm on an exciting spiritual journey and finding ways to heal everyday. I hope you all do too. Turn your life over to Christ nothing happens until you start praying. Whatever it is you're struggling with I testify and say in confidence if you start praying to him to change the situation around I promise you he can and he will. Talk to him often confide in him in all things do it as often as you can I promise you you will start to see things change in your life. Trust the process. Listen for him listen to him and he will pave the way to a happier more fulfilling life. He loves us all. God bless all of you

      All that healing? You did that. No one else did it for you or made it happen. Love yourself first and foremost before you love anyone or anything else. It isn't so much god that is what changes people. It is their faith in something that creates those positive changes and allows people to heal efficiently. Just my two cents on the matter.

    Even if you have room to grow sometimes the people you really want to grow with you just don't have it in them to grow with you. Sometimes you have to grow on your own to find yourself and love yourself until you find someone that's willing to grow with you instead of against you. Love don't always have to be a fight, they're good ones willing to give their hearts out there because their tired of growing on their own. Trust me I was a victim of growing in a relationship by myself. Meaning he didn't love me the way I loved him. I grew away from him. Love yourself first loves.

    Sing Along (lyrics):
    Girl, I'm in love with you
    This ain't the honeymoon
    Passed the infatuation phase
    Right in the thick of love
    At times we get sick of love
    It seems like we argue everyday
    I know I misbehaved and you made your mistakes
    And we both still got room left to grow
    And though love sometimes hurts
    I still put you first
    And we'll make this thing work
    But I think we should take it slow
    We're just ordinary people
    We don't know which way to go
    'Cause we're ordinary people
    Maybe we should take it slow
    Take it slow, oh
    This time we'll take it slow
    Take it slow, oh
    This time we'll take it slow
    This ain't a movie, no
    No fairytale conclusion y'all
    It gets more confusing every day, oh
    Sometimes it's Heaven sent
    Then we head back to hell again
    We kiss then we make up on the way
    I hang up, you call
    We rise and we fall
    And we feel like just walking away
    As our love advances we take second chances
    Though it's not a fantasy I still want you to stay
    We're just ordinary people
    We don't know which way to go
    'Cause we're ordinary people

    That's the thing, we have to be willing to change if we want things to get better. It can be either a living hell or something amazing based on what we choose, which is why in marriage you are bound in love and can't run away so that you have to stick it out and make it better together. You can't change someone else, they ultimately have to choose to change. But you can start by changing yourself and you'll make a difference in your own life and in the whole world and you'll be an example to those around you. Because even we ordinary people affect the world in ways we don't even realize, it's a humble mindset ''We don't know which way to go'' which is why we were given a path to walk on by God that can lead us towards greater understanding and virtue

Maybe if I, you, or we take things a bit slower we can actually see “the forest through the trees” or grasp ahold of what’s important. What’s important is life...and life is a privilege! Take it slow...you only get one!

    Girl im in love with you
    This ain't the honeymoon
    Past the infatuation phase
    Right in the thick of love
    At times we get sick of love
    It seems like we argue everyday
    I know i misbehave
    And you made your mistakes
    And we both still got room left to grow
    And though love sometimes hurts
    I still put you first
    And we'll make this thing work
    But I think we should take it slow
    We're just ordinary people
    We don't know which way to go
    Cuz we're ordinary people
    Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
    This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
    This time we'll take it slow
    This ain't a movie no
    No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
    It gets more confusing everyday
    Sometimes it's heaven sent
    We head back to hell again
    We kiss and we make up on the way
    I hang up you call
    We rise and we fall
    And we feel like just walking away
    But as our love advances
    We take second chances
    Though it's not a fantasy
    I Still want you to stay
    We're just ordinary people
    We don't know which way to go
    Cuz we're ordinary people
    Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
    This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
    This time we'll take it slow
    Take it slow
    Maybe we'll live and learn
    Maybe we'll crash and burn
    Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
    maybe you'll return
    Maybe you'll never find
    Maybe we won't survive
    But maybe we'll grow
    We never know baby youuuu and I
    We're just ordinary people
    We don't know which way to go(hey)
    Cuz we're ordinary people
    Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
    We're just ordinary people
    We don't know which way to go
    Cuz we're ordinary people
    Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
    This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)

    It reminds me that one can't take love for granted that even something so pure has its ups and downs. It can be the most wonderful feeling and at times the most painful feeling ever. Love's a blessing to receive and a privilege to give in return. That once you have it one must give everything to keep it with complete honesty and true devotion for one another. No fairy tale conclusion here, my heart aches but I can make it to tomorrow. From the bottom of my heart thank you John Legend.

    Edit: Cameron Boyce is a disney channel actor who starred on Jessie as Luke, as Carlos in Descendants 1, 2, and 3, and has had extra appearances in other stuff. He’s a really lovable guy and a great dancer, but unfortunately he passed away around a year ago @ 19-20 years old. His death was a huge surprise to everyone, and everyone was extremely upset. Apparently he sang this song too, I didn’t even know until I read the comments in the comment section.

    This song was involved in so many beautiful memories in our relationship... I ended up hurting the love of my life and she ended things. I'm respectfully giving her all of the space she needs to heal and to grow and in the meantime, I'm working on learning this on the piano and hope to be able to sing and play at the same time. I'm pouring all of my heart and soul into doing this for her because the lyrics truly capture not only how I feel, but also what's happened in our relationship and how we could fix things... I hope that I'll be able to surprise her later this summer and speak straight to her heart from my heart through this song. Please wish me luck, everyone. She has been my best friend for half a decade and a life without her in it would be hollow.
