Normal Life Is Fine

from Normal Life Is Fine by Tom John Hall

/

lyrics

Last song of the night,
you break out into the light.
Or trail off on a detour
to find some evening afterlife

You know that you can't keep this up
forever, but you don't want it to stop
And fear you'll never be old enough
You want to hold on to that precious feeling,
but you know that it might rot
if you hold on to it long enough

I don't want you to cry,
I want you to be alright.
I know it's not the life,
the sights,
or sounds you had in mind.
You did not touch the sky,
break free,
or kiss in milky twilight.
But normal life is fine,
and good things will happen when you smile.

So you're setting your sights
on a simple and quiet life.
At first your conscience and your ego fight
then it starts to look like it'll be alright.

You promised not to give up on those dreams
but then those dreams gave up on you.
Oh yeah but they were bound to.
You're smart, you have conviction,
there's a million things that you could learn to do.
The whole world is waiting for you.

That's why I don't want you to cry
I want you to be alright,
I know it's not the life,
the sights,
or sounds you had in mind
You did not touch the sky,
break free,
or kiss in milky twilight.
But normal life is fine,
and good things will happen when you smile.
