[00:03.95] They're the perfect
[00:04.90] Loving family so adoring
[00:08.12] And I love them
[00:09.28] Every day of every week
[00:12.17] So my son's a little shit
[00:14.25] My husband's boring
[00:16.44] And my daughter
[00:17.56] Though a genius is a freak
[00:20.62] Still I help them
[00:21.94] Love each other
[00:23.34] Father mother
[00:24.66] Sister brother
[00:26.16] Cheek to cheek
[00:27.36]
[00:28.62] Natalie it's four in the morning is everything ok
[00:32.57] Everything's great why wouldn't it be great it's great
[00:36.74]
[00:37.36] Honey you need to slow down take some time for yourself
[00:42.11] I'm going to have sex with your father
[00:44.28] Great thanks I'm so glad I know that
[00:48.01]
[00:49.70] So it's times like these
[00:51.18] I wonder how I take it
[00:53.95] And if other families
[00:55.62] Live the way we do
[00:58.27] If they love each other
[00:59.84] Or if they just fake it
[01:02.59] And if other daughter
[01:04.15] Feel like I feel too
[01:06.82] 'Cause some days
[01:07.65] I think I'm dying
[01:09.50] But I'm really only
[01:11.07] Trying to get through
[01:14.40] For just another day
[01:17.71] For another stolen hour
[01:20.95] When the world will
[01:21.79] Feel my power and obey
[01:25.96] It's just another day
[01:29.28] Feeling like I'll live forever
[01:32.38] Feeling like this feeling never goes away
[01:37.30] For just another day
[01:40.78]
[01:42.80] When it's up to you
[01:44.14] To hold your house together
[01:47.08] A house you built with
[01:48.62] Patience and with care
[01:51.10] But you're grappling with
[01:52.58] That grey and rainy weather
[01:55.49] And you're living on a latte
[01:57.96] And a prayer
[02:00.09] Can you keep
[02:00.84] The cup from tipping
[02:02.72] Can you keep
[02:03.50] The grip from slipping in despair
[02:07.57] For just another day
[02:11.01] In the hustle and the hurry
[02:14.30] You want to wipe
[02:15.79] Your worry clean away
[02:19.18] For just another day
[02:22.82] I will keep the
[02:23.89] Plates all spinning
[02:25.61] With a smile so white
[02:27.46] And winning all the way
[02:31.40] 'Cause what doesn't kill me
[02:33.50] Doesn't kill me
[02:34.90] So fill me up
[02:36.08] For just another day
[02:38.43] It only hurts when I breathe
[02:39.88] It only hurts when I try
[02:41.33] It only hurts when I think
[02:42.73] It only hurts when I cry
[02:44.08] It only hurts when I work
[02:45.36] It only hurts when I play
[02:46.84] It only hurts when I move
[02:48.24] It only hurts when I say
[02:51.01] It's just another day a busy busy day
[02:54.98] And the morning sun
[02:56.16] Is stunning I will hold it all together
[02:57.91] And you wish that you
[02:59.25] Were running far away I will hide the mess away
[03:02.82] It's just another day and I'll survive another day
[03:06.38] Birds are singing
[03:07.61] Things are growing
[03:08.44] And I will pray To hold on
[03:09.85] And you wish
[03:10.34] You could be going
[03:11.69] But you stay and you stay
[03:14.80] And stay forever and for my family's sake
[03:16.77] Though you know it's now or never
[03:18.42] I'll take what I can take
[03:19.82] And you know that for forever
[03:21.03] I'm only just awake
[03:22.63] Every day is just another
[03:25.57] And another and another
[03:28.46] I will hold it all together
[03:31.27] We're the perfect loving family
[03:34.30] If they say we're not then fuck 'em
[03:37.25] The perfect loving family
[03:39.52] I will keep the plates all spinning
[03:41.91] And the world just keeps on spinning
[03:45.19] And I think the house is spinning
