Just Another Day

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

♪

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

Prayer

Can you keep the cup from tipping

Can you keep your grip from slipping in despair,

For just another day

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 dizzy, dizzy day

When the morning sun is showing

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

You'll stay

For my family's sake

For you know it's now or never

I'll reap what I can take

And you know they're gone forever

Stay

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 fuck 'em

The perfect loving family

I will keep the plates all spinning

And the world just keeps on spinning
