A Return To Normalcy

I'm not letting this one slip by,
But something's driving me crazy and I don't know why,
A fairy tale,
Is exactly that,
But all I want is a return to normalcy.

You and I know the drill,
Love,
Hurt,
Forgive,
Repeat.
But it's at love that we always meet.

I see the castles in the sky,
But on Versailles road as I drive by,
Stop and stare,
Wondering if fairy tales are true,
Realizing its a lie.

In the story books,
Normal people become heroes,
Do extraordinary things,
I thought the normal was a bit hazy,
Until I realized it was a bit crazy.

If our fantasy's require a start at the ordinary,
What will become of us?
Why do we make stories about the normal,
When I'm not sure they exist?
Surely there is something I missed.

In life there are more variables than we can see,
But in the end it comes down to you and me,
So I can offer what I am,
Hoping its not everything you are,
And maybe we can return to normalcy.
