Just Another Day

(专辑： Next To Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2009)

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

Natalie, it's 4 in the morning, is everything ok?

[Natalie:]
Everything's great, why wouldn't it be great? It's great!

[Diana:]
Honey, you need to slow down. Take some time for yourself. I'm going to have sex with your father

[Natalie:]
Great, thanks, I'm so glad I know that

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

[Gabe:]
For just another day, for another stolen hour
When the world will feel my power and obey

[Gabe & Natalie:]
It's just another day

[Gabe:]
Feeling like I'll live forever

[Natalie:]
Feeling like this feeling never goes away

[Gabe & Natalie:]
For just another day

[Dan:]
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

[Dan & Diana:]
-prayer
Can you keep the cup from tipping
Can you keep your grip from slipping in despair
For just another day

[Dan & Gabe:]
In the hustle and the hurry

[Dan:]
You want to wipe your worry clean away

[All:]
For just another day

[Diana:]
I will keep the plates all spinning

[Diana & Natalie:]
With a smile so white and winning all the way

[All:]
'Cause what doesn't kill me doesn't kill me
So fill me up for just another day

[Diana:]
It only hurts when I breathe

[Dan:]
It only hurts when I try

[Gabe:]
It only hurts when I think

[Natalie & Diana:]
It only hurts when I cry
It hurts

[Dan, Diana & Natalie:]
It only hurts when I work
It hurts

[Gabe, Diana & Dan:]
It only hurts when I play
It hurts

[Natalie, Diana & Dan & Gabe:]
It only hurts when I move
It hurts

[All:]
It only hurts when I say

[Dan, Natalie & Gabe:]
It's just another day

[Diana:]
A busy, busy day

[Gabe:]
And the morning sun is stunning

[Diana:]
I will hold it all together

[Dan, Natalie, Dr. Madden, & Henry & Gabe:]
And you wish that you were running far away
Far away

[Diana & Company:]
I will hide the mess away
It's just another day
And I'll survive another day

[Gabe:]
Birds are singing, things are growing

[Diana, Dan & Gabe:]
And I will pray to hold on just this way
And you wish you could be going but you stay

[Dan & Natalie & Gabe:]
You stay
And you stay and stay forever

[Diana, Dan & Gabe:]
And for my family's sake
Though you know it's now or never

[Natalie & Diana:]
Stay
I'll take what I can take

[Natalie & Gabe, Dan & Diana:]
And you know that for forever
Stay
I'm only just awake

[Diana:]
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 fuck 'em
The perfect loving family
I will keep the plates all spinning
And the world just keeps on spinning

I think the house is spinning
