Just Another Day

Just Another Day - Alice Ripley

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 daughter

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 grey and rainy weather

And you're living on a latte

And a prayer

Can you keep

The cup from tipping

Can you keep

The 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 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 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 To hold on

And you wish

You could be going

But you stay and you stay

And stay forever and for my family's sake

Though you know it's now or never

I'll take what I can take

And you know that for forever

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 f**k 'em

The perfect loving family

I will keep the plates all spinning

And the world just keeps on spinning

And I think the house is spinning
