about

Captain Ordinary has failed. Billy and Emily have been kidnapped, and the town is in more danger then ever before.

It is time for him to decide- does he run from Plainsville forever and lose himself in the big city? Or does he stand up and fight?

lyrics

CAPTAIN ORDINARY

TOEING THE LINE, IN THE DISTANCE THERE’S A CITY
BEEN HERE MY WHOLE LIFE, IF I VANISHED WOULD THEY MISS ME?
EYES ARE ON THE HORIZON, EYES ARE ON THE HORIZON

I THOUGHT THAT THIS TOWN WAS A WORLD NEVER ENDING
I’M NOT A HERO AT ALL, I'M JUST A BOY PRETENDING
BUT IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP NOW, BUT IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP NOW

TAKE OFF THE CAPE, OFF THE WEIGHT
OF THE WORLD IT'S CRASHING DOWN
AND THIS TOWN NEEDS SOMETHING MORE THAN ME- MORE THAN
ORDINARY, I’M SCARED- CAN’T BREATHE
WHERE DO I GO?

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE CALLING ME TO LEAVE THIS TOWN
AND A ROAD OF PROMISES JUST BEGGING ME TO BE FOUND

AND THE CITY LIMITS TRY TO STOP ME
THEY TRY TO HOLD ME DOWN
AND THESE CITY LIMITS I’VE DEFENDED
ARE THE TIES THAT KEEP ME BOUND

IT ALL GETS SO LOUD
IF NOT FOR CITY LIMITS I WOULD LEAVE THIS TOWN

PICTURE ME, CLIMB THE SKYLINE TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
LEAVE NO TRACE, FIND MY PLACE, GET THE GLORY, THE GIRL
EYES ARE ON THE HORIZON, EYES ARE ON THE HORIZON

BUT IF EYES WERE ON ME WOULD THEY SEE THROUGH THE LIES?
AND NOW EYES ARE ON ME IN A PASSED DOWN DISGUISE
BUT IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP NOW, IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP NOW

I WANTED MORE THAN THE STORE
JUST A BREAK FROM THE OLD ROUTINE
DIDN’T MEAN TO SUPERSEDE A LEGACY
THAT WHEN THE TIME CAME TO FULFILL I CHOKED, I FROZE

HEY BILLY I WON’T LET YOU GO
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST PART OF EVERYTHING I KNOW

TOWNSFOLK

SO IT'S WRITTEN

HOT CHOCOLATE & ANNIE

SO IT'S WRITTEN

CAPTAIN ORDINARY

SO IT GOES

OPTIMISM MAN
LOST IN A SUMMER HAZE WE WERE HEROES

OPTIMISM MAN & HOT CHOCOLATE
SHOESTRING BELT AND A BATH TOWEL CAPE, WE WERE HEROES

SEMI SUPERS
POP CAN ROBBERS TO DEFEAT AND MOPS TO SAVE, WE WERE HEROES

CAPTAIN ORDINARY
NOW BILLY NEEDS ME, BUT NOT AS HENRY

TOWNSFOLK
OH CAPTAIN ORDINARY!

CAPTAIN ORDINARY
SO WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN AND IT’S YOUR TIME TO SHINE
AND YOU KNOW A HERO NEVER LEAVES A FRIEND BEHIND
AND NOW I’VE REACHED THE CROSSROADS
OF WHO I AM AND WHO I’LL BE….
FREE TO FIND THE STRENGTH INSIDE
TO HOLD THE FATE YOU LEFT TO ME

I CAN BREAK THROUGH THESE LIMITATIONS, I PUT THEM HERE MYSELF.
I’M NOT AN IMITATION, I’M A FIRST EDITION ON THE SHELF

AND IN OUR STORY’S FINAL HOUR
YOU DON’T NEED A SUPERPOWER
TO BE EXTRAORDINARY
