I Don't Think This Is Normal (Reprise) [Michael]
[Verse 1] I remember every answer. Every pathway. Every choice. Every question disappearing Beneath a single voice. Everything was simple. Everything was clear. No uncertainty. No wonder. Nothing left to fear. And somehow that was worse. Because every road was mapped out. Every outcome guaranteed. And somewhere in that certainty I forgot what made me me. [Pre-Chorus] I thought I wanted it certain. I thought I wanted to know. But a life without a mystery Leaves no room for flow. [Chorus] I don't think this is normal. I really have my doubts. Most kids don't wake from nightmares With an overpowered android helping out. Most sisters borrow video games. Most sisters slam a door. My sister accidentally creates Things that weren't there before. I love her. She's amazing. I wouldn't trade her for another. And maybe that's what matters. I'm still glad I'm her brother. [Verse 2] I remember all the kingdoms That appeared out of thin air. The dungeon by the tool shed. The aliens in the garden back there. The neighbors running circles. The maps spread on the floor. The endless explanations Of what any of it was for. And looking back, it's funny. The thing I thought I'd lost. Was never peace or order. It was wonder at the cost. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe rules are important. Maybe boundaries matter too. But every game worth playing Needs something unexpected to break through. [Chorus] I don't think this is normal. I really have my doubts. Most kids don't save the neighborhood When they're hanging out. Most sisters borrow video games. Most sisters slam a door. My sister accidentally creates Things that weren't there before. She's amazing. No, I don't think this is normal. And honestly, i still love her. I'm glad I'm her brother. [Bridge] She made mistakes. I made some too. Grandpa definitely made more than a few. Turns out being human means Nobody gets a perfect view. She needed some direction. I needed room to dream. And neither one of us belonged At either of the extremes. Because dragons need the open sky. And stories need an end. And every player needs a choice Before a game can begin. [Final Chorus] I don't think this is normal. I really have my doubts. Most kids don't lose themselves And have their sister pull them out. Most sisters borrow video games. Most sisters slam a door. My sister accidentally creates Things that weren't there before. I love her. She's amazing. I don't need any other. No, I don't think this is normal. And honestly, I'm glad I'm her brother. [Outro - Spoken] The world still doesn't make much sense. Good. I think I'd have missed that.
