Normal Day from Benzene by French Cassettes

Scott Huerta on "Normal Day":
'Normal Day' started as an excuse to not leave the house. I combed my hair that day which meant I was stalling. I had somewhere to be but thought I'd write a song first. I picked up my acoustic guitar and started thinking about Bob Dylan and what he'd do. I don't advise that. I spent the next 40 minutes sitting on the edge of my bed picturing Dylan screaming "how does it FEEL" until I found my own lyrics. I sincerely thought about asking Rufus Wainwright to accompany me on the outro, but assumed he was busy.

Lyrics

Song title: Normal Day

Lyrics:
I can’t stay
But you’re no nearer than I’m far away, yeah
I can’t stay
But you’re no nearer than I’m far away
If you ever think I’m being dishonest, I’m not
I just want to spend the summer alone, yeah
Now I’m counting on more good times
and darling it’s a lot
But it might have to wait ’til I get home
I don’t feel it now
I didn’t feel it then
I doubt I’ll feel it when I come out of this comfort zone
I don’t wana make a vow to love you ’til my life ends
But trust me, I can’t do it on my own
I’m trying to give my stuff to the Goodwill
They lied and said that they do not need it
I said I can see some space back there
But they insisted still
I lied and said that’s okay my ride’s about to be here
Only wanting something new to do
I know a thing or two, oh
Only wanting something new
(sad but true)
To do
(despite everything you say)
I know a thing or two
(yes you do, I hope you have a normal day)
Only wanting something new
(sad but true)
To do
(despite everything you say)
I know a thing or two
(yes you do, I hope you have a normal day)
