lyrics

I sprawled on the ground
and spread my arms out
like a starfish

but my limbs won’t grow back
I guess you know that

I guess you’ve been here

I blanket the couch
to find you sleeping
in the morning

last month you were dead,
but now everything is
normal again,


normal again,
normal again
everything is normal again


I wish you were good

I wish I forgave you,
like it was easy

I’m glad you survived,

'cause if I didn’t hate you, I don’t
know what I’d be doing

I lost all control

when she fell to pieces

not knowing if you’d come back

but now you’re at home,
watching television,

like everything is normal again

normal again,
normal again
everything is normal again

you said It was dark
when you closed your eyes
and didn’t know
if they’d open again
