One Normal Day [Michael]

[Verse 1] I don't think this is normal. I don't have any doubts. Elly needs to slow her roll And seriously chill on out. The pirates at the mall. The dimensional storms. They're really pretty awesome... But I'm feeling a little worn. Last Tuesday there were goblins. On Wednesday, aliens came. Yesterday the school turned Into some giant puzzle game. I know she's trying to help us have fun. I know her heart's okay. But does the universe Need saving every single day? --- [Pre-Chorus] I used to think Every surprise Was one more story we'd someday tell. Now every time She starts to smile... I know today's gonna be hell. --- [Chorus] I'm still glad she's my sister. That part hasn't changed. I'd still stand beside her. I'd still answer every call. But can we wait to save the universe When it's actually broken Or get any vacation time at all? --- [Verse 2] Mom keeps writing observations. Dad keeps checking every clue. They call it "unexpected phenomena." I call it "Tuesday afternoon." The neighbors think we're haunted. The mailman's learned to duck. The weather forecast's meaningless When Elly's feeling stuck. I miss boring homework. I miss boring days. I never thought I'd actually Miss boring anyway. --- ### Pre-Chorus Grandpa says The world works better When every piece stays in its place. No chaos. No surprises. No impossible escape. A bit of control right now sounds really great. --- [Chorus] I'm still glad she's my sister. I'd choose her every time. Even if she accidentally Breaks the laws of space and time. I'd still grab my backpack. I'd still tow the line. I'm just... Really... Really... Tired, and I'm not fine. --- [Bridge] Grandpa made an offer. And I have to say... I never thought I'd even Think this way. He says there'd be order. No constant alarms. No dungeons. No monsters. No accidental farms growing in the living room. ... [Spoken] That doesn't sound... Completely awful... Right? You know... Having a plan? Knowing what happens next? --- [Final Chorus] I'm still glad she's my sister. Please don't get me wrong. I'd fight beside her anywhere. That's where I belong. But if tomorrow's peaceful... If nothing goes astray... I think I'd like to keep it that way... After today. --- ### Outro Just... One... Normal... Day. ... Then maybe... We'll save the universe again someday.
