"Average People" lyrics

Average People

Oh, we used to laugh a lot
Living each day as it came
No, we didn't have a lot
Just love and time
But I guess that's all behind us now

I sit before the TV screen
Silently staring into space
While you re-read your magazine
And the bottom is painted
All over our face

Tell me when did we
Become such average people
And when did love
Become an everyday thing
Life was so much fun
When we were living together
But as soon as we put on the rings
Everything changed

What a lovely memory
All those tender nights we knew
When I held you so close to me
We seem like one
But I guess that's over and done

Cause now, we simply say "good night"
And then we turn our separate ways
To dream of what it could be like
With somebody else
Taking each other's place

Tell me when did we
Become such average people
And when did love
Become an everyday thing
Life was so much fun
When we were living together
But as soon as we put on the rings
Everything changed

Tell me when did we
Become such average people
Tell me when did love
Become an everyday thing
Life was so much fun
When we were living together

Tell me when did we
Become such average people
