A Part Of That

CATHERINE
One day we're just like "Leave it to Beaver"
One day it's just a typical life
And then he's off on
A trip to Jamie-land
Staring catatonic out the window
Barely even breathing all the while

And then he'll smile
His eyes light up and deep within the ground
Without a sound
A moment comes to life
And I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that

Next day it's just like
It never happened
We're making dinners
We're making plans
Then he gets on the
Mule train to Jamie-land
Handful after handful of Doritos
Circling the apartment, logging miles

And then he smiles
His eyes light up
And how can I complain?
Yes, he's insane
But look what he can do
And I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that

And it's true
I tend to follow in his stride
Instead of side by side
I take his cue
True, but there's no question
There's no doubt
I said I'd stick it out
And follow through
And when I do

Then he smiles
And where else can I go?
I didn't know
The rules do not apply
And then he smiles
And nothing else makes sense
While he invents
The world that's passing by
And I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
Aren't I?

I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
