Just Another Day

[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

(spoken)
Natalie, it's 4 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.

(sung)
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

(spoken)
I think the house is spinning.
