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

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

Everything's great, why wouldn't it be great? It's great!

Honey, you need to slow down, take some time for yourself
I'm going to have sex with your father

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

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 your 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 hurts)
It only hurts when I work (it hurts)
It only hurts when I play (it hurts)
It only hurts when I move (it hurts)
It only hurts when I say

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

For my family's sake
(For you know it's now or never) I'll take what I can take
(Stay) And you know that 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

I think the house is spinning
