NORMAL

I can’t keep my thoughts on what I’m doing
I can’t keep my thoughts on what you say
Even my fondest thoughts are straying
Straying and fraying, forever betraying my
Best intentions are unattended

I need to teach myself to focus
And at the same time take it easy
And when I don’t have a clue what I don’t know
I need to know that I still am okay
Even though I never feel quite that way

How could you ever love me
When we cannot even find me?
If a magic wand might cure me
We’d wave it around and around and around
Until I settled, I’d get a medal

I watch and I listen as you two suffer
From the meaning of words thrown at each other
That magical wand from somewhere beyond
You keep on searching while I keep inverting
And we keep hurting ‘cause I’m not normal

All that you regret never doing
Made you cold and disapproving
We’d like to think you know what you’re doing
But what are we doing if we are undoing the love between us?
If you don’t love me, who will love me?

Give me three wishes, they’re all the same:
Make me normal so that I might be
One of the good ones, one of the fun ones
One of the ones that we like to believe
Are always normal
Am I not normal?
Tell me I’m normal, please!
