First dropped on Consequence of Sound on June 11 2015, “Ordinary Life” is, according to Furman, “an autobiographical song about a time [she] was at the end of [her] rope.”

[Verse 1]
I'm sick of this record already
Let's wreck all the preconceived notions we bring to it
Check all the baggage or better yet burn it
And start all over again
Let's start with your life as you know it
Way back in our mothers' wombs folded like notebooks
We had no idea of all the tote bags and meat hooks
Waiting out in the world
One September in Boston
I lost the will to live
I was just like an astronaut cut from the ship
And floating and waiting to die
I was sick of my ordinary life
I was so sick of ordinary life
I was sick of this ordinary life
[Verse 3]
The human mind gets sick real easy
The human mind gets way fucking sick of beauty
And I know, and it's happened to me
Again and again, and again and again
You've gotta make it new
You've gotta keep it new to keep it true
And you're allowed to do anything you've gotta do
Just 'cause you're sick of your ordinary life
Doesn't mean you should bottle up and die
Lose your way completely but stay alive
[Outro]
Ditty bop sha lang lang
Ditty bop sha lang sha ditty lang
Ditty bop sha lang lang ditty lang
