Next To Normal - Just Another Day lyrics
rate meDiana:<br />
They're the perfect<br />
Loving family, so adoring... <br />
And I love them<br />
Every day of every week.<br />
<br />
So my son's a little shit, <br />
My husband's boring, <br />
And my daughter, <br />
Though a genius, is a freak.<br />
<br />
Still I help them<br />
Love each other<br />
Father, mother, <br />
Sister, brother, <br />
Cheek to cheek! <br />
<br />
[Spoken]<br />
Natalie? It's four in the morning—is everything ok?<br />
<br />
Natalie: [Spoken]<br />
Everything's great, why wouldn't it be great? It's great! <br />
<br />
Diana: [Spoken]<br />
Honey, you need to slow down, take some time for yourself.<br />
I'm going to have sex with your father.<br />
<br />
Natalie: [Spoken]<br />
Great. Thanks. I'm so glad I know that.<br />
[Sung]<br />
So it's times like these<br />
I wonder how I take it—<br />
And if other fam'lies<br />
Live the way we do... <br />
If they love each other<br />
Or if they just fake it, <br />
And if other daughter<br />
Feel like I feel too... <br />
<br />
'Cause some days<br />
I think I'm dying—<br />
But I'm really only<br />
Trying to get through.<br />
<br />
Gabe:<br />
For just another day... <br />
For another stolen hour, <br />
When the world will<br />
Feel my power and obey.<br />
<br />
Gabe & Natalie:<br />
It's just another day... <br />
<br />
Gabe:<br />
Feeling like I'll live forever... <br />
<br />
Natalie:<br />
Feeling like this feeling never goes away... <br />
<br />
Gabe & Natalie:<br />
For just another day.<br />
<br />
Dan:<br />
When it's up to you<br />
To hold your house together... <br />
A house you built with<br />
Patience and with care... <br />
But you're grappling with<br />
That grey and rainy weather, <br />
And you're living on a latte Diana:<br />
And a prayer— Prayer—<br />
<br />
Dan & Diana:<br />
Can you keep<br />
The cup from tipping?<br />
Can you keep<br />
The grip from slipping in despair?<br />
For just another day.<br />
<br />
Dan & Gabe:<br />
In the hustle and the hurry.<br />
<br />
Dan:<br />
You want to wipe<br />
Your worry clean away.<br />
<br />
Diana, Dan & Gabe:<br />
For just another day.<br />
<br />
Diana:<br />
I will keep the<br />
Plates all spinning—<br />
<br />
Diana & Natalie:<br />
With a smile so white<br />
And winning all the way—<br />
<br />
All:<br />
'Cause what doesn't kill me<br />
Doesn't kill me, <br />
So fill me up<br />
For just another day.<br />
<br />
Diana:<br />
It only hurts when I'm breathe.<br />
<br />
Dan:<br />
It only hurts when I try.<br />
<br />
Gabe:<br />
It only hurts when I think.<br />
<br />
Natalie:<br />
It only hurts when I cry.<br />
<br />
Dan:<br />
It only hurts when I work.<br />
<br />
Gabe:<br />
It only hurts when I play.<br />
<br />
Natalie:<br />
It only hurts when I move.<br />
<br />
All:<br />
It only hurts when I say... <br />
<br />
Dan, Natalie & Gabe: Diana:<br />
It's just another day A busy, busy day.<br />
And the morning sun<br />
Is stunning, I will hold it all together.<br />
And you wish that you<br />
Were running far away. I will hide the mess away.<br />
It's just another day— And I'll survive another day.<br />
Birds are singing, <br />
Things are growing, And I will pray<br />
And you wish To hold on<br />
You could be going Just this way, <br />
But you stay.<br />
And you stay<br />
And stay forever, And for my fam'ly's sake<br />
Though you know I'll take what I can take—<br />
It's now or never, <br />
And you know I'm only just awake... <br />
That for forever... <br />
<br />
Diana:<br />
Every day is just another... <br />
And another... and another... <br />
I will hold it all together.<br />
We're the perfect loving fam'ly.<br />
If they say we're not, then fuck 'em—<br />
The perfect loving fam'ly.<br />
I will keep the plates all spinning, <br />
And the world just keeps on spinning, <br />
[Spoken]<br />
And I think the house is spinning...
