Normal People

I see guys at night drinking in bars
 Talking to girls and driving cars
 They heard about this place from a magazine
 One of their best friends has been
 They all laugh and joke like there's nothing wrong
 Like they are right where they belong
 ♪
 She met a guy, they went on a date
 She liked him, but it was getting late
 He called again, but she let it ring
 She needs a little more time to think
 She reads the paper on the train
 A guy stares the entire way
 ♪
 He got a job right out of school
 His place is small, but it has a pool
 It's just a couple of stops away
 He feels a sadness that he can't explain
 It's hard for him to have fun
 His mother died when he was young
 Yesterday I had a life (I had a life)
 I had a home (I had a home)
 I wore a smile (I wore a smile)
 To sell my soul (to sell my soul)
 My tie was blue (my tie was blue)
 And my shirt was white (my shirt was white)
 So why can't I figure out
 How to feel alright?
 I know this could be mine again
 If you would just tell me what I need to change
 ♪
 I've seen enough (I've seen enough)
 I'll never go back (I'll never go back)
 I'll never get my life (get my life)
 Back on track (back on track)
 They all say so much (say so much)
 But say nothing at all (nothing at all)
 The world is so big and I feel so fucking small
 And then I think to myself and sigh
 How can you really give up
 When you never tried?
 One day I called in sick, but I was right outside
 I just sat down on a bench and cried
 I saw this child playing in the street
 His whole life right there under his feet
 I knew that what you do, that's all there is
 But then I went upstairs and sat down at my desk
 ♪
 I don't fit in, but I don't feel bad
 You can't miss a feeling that you never had
 I know it's a sham, but it seemed so real
 And what I had to be, isn't who I am
 You see
 The man I see (man I see)
 He would never dream (never dream)
 I just took the life (took the life)
 They handed me (handed me)
 I remember this like it was (like it was)
 Yesterday (yesterday)
 Even though it now seems (now it seems)
 So far away (far away)
 I've learned much more than he'll ever know
 So what do we do now, and where do we go?
