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!
[Spoken]
Natalie? It's four in the morning—is everything ok?
Natalie: [Spoken]
Everything's great, why wouldn't it be great? It's great!
Diana: [Spoken]
Honey, you need to slow down, take some time for yourself.
I'm going to have sex with your father.
Natalie: [Spoken]
Great. Thanks. I'm so glad I know that.
So it's times like these
I wonder how I take it—
And if other fam'lies
Live the way we do...
If they love each other
Or if they just fake it,
And if other daughter
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: [Diana:]
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 grey and rainy weather,
And you're living on a latte
And a prayer— [Prayer—]
Dan & Diana:
Can you keep
The cup from tipping?
Can you keep
The 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.
Diana, Dan & Gabe:
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:
It only hurts when I cry.
Dan:
It only hurts when I work.
Gabe:
It only hurts when I play.
Natalie:
It only hurts when I move.
All:
It only hurts when I say...
Dan, Natalie & Gabe: [Diana:]
It's just another day [A busy, busy day.]
And the morning sun
Is stunning, [I will hold it all together.]
And you wish that you
Were running far away. [I will hide the mess away.]
It's just another day— [And I'll survive another day.]
Birds are singing,
Things are growing, [And I will pray]
And you wish [To hold on]
You could be going [Just this way,]
But you stay. [And you stay]
And stay forever, [And for my fam'ly's sake]
Though you know [I'll take what I can take—]
It's now or never,
And you know [I'm only just awake...]
That for forever...
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 fam'ly.
I will keep the plates all spinning,
And the world just keeps on spinning,
And I think the house is spinning...
