Just Another Day

(álbum: Riverdale: Special Episode - Next To Normal The Musical - 2021)

They're the perfect loving family, so adoring
And I love them every day of every week
So my son's a little odd, my husband's boring
And my daughter, though a genius, is a freak
Still I help them love each other
Father, mother, sisters, brother
Cheek to cheek

So it's times like these I wonder how I take it
And if other families live the way we do
If they love each other or if they just fake it
And if other daughters feel like I feel too
Cause some days I think I'm dying
But I'm really only trying to get through

For just another day, for another stolen hour
When the world will feel my power and obey
It's just another day, feeling like I'll live forever
Feeling like this feeling never goes away
For just another day

When it's up to you to hold your house together
A house you built with patience and with care
But you're grappling with that gray and rainy weather
And you're living on a latte and a prayer

Can you keep the cup from tipping
Can you keep your grip from slipping in despair

For just another, in the hustle and the hurry
You want to wipe you worry clean away
For just another day, I will keep the plates all spinning
With a smile so white and winning all the way
Cause what doesn't kill me doesn't kill me
So fill me up for just another day

It only hurts when I breathe
It only hurts when I try
It only hurts when I think
It only hurts when I cry
It only hurts when I work
It only hurts when I play
It only hurts when I move
It only hurts when I say

It's just another day (A busy, busy day)
When the morning sun is starting
I will hold it all together (And you wish that you were running far away)
I will hide the nest away

It's just another day (I will survive another day)
Birds are singing, figs are falling
And I will pray to hold on just this day (And you wish you would be gone)
But you'll stay

For my family's sake (For you know it's now or never)
I'll take what I can take (And you know they're gone forever)
I'm only just awake
Every day is just another and another and another
I will hold it all together
We're the perfect loving family
If they say we're not then screw-'em
The perfect loving family
I will keep the plates all spinning
And the world just keeps on spinning
Uh, the house is spinning
