lyrics

Oxygen
I need oxygen to breathe
It's hard to believe this but it seems I'm just like you

Sympathy
I need sympathy to smile
It's so juvenile-ish but it seems it must be true

I have always thought that I'd be great big news
My face on a shirt and my own line of running shoes
But lately that dream has been put to bed
On account of being nothing special
At least that's what somebody said...

I'm a mediocre man
Just trying to do what the great people can do
I'm a mediocre man
Just trying to do what the great people can do

I have always thought I'd be a great big deal
You could sell my eyelash on ebay if you prove that it's real
And maybe one day I could prove you wrong
You could flip on your radio and listen to my new song

I'm a mediocre man
Just trying to do what the great people can do
I'm a mediocre man
Just trying to do what the great people can do

I was about to say do
