Jamie Grace – Normal

Lyrics: Normal by Jamie Grace

I’m sorry for all the things I said when I forgot
I was trying to be normal
And I’m sorry for that lie that I was trying to be normal

I was made with a little bit a west coast, a little bit a south
I get all my crazy from my mom and my dad
They say be who you are, there’s no such thing as normal
And I know it’s a little bit 1991 pop song, to say, “Just be yourself”
So call me a 1991 pop song, don’t wanna be nobody else

Me, myself, and I, we got some growing up to do
So call the restaurant and set a table for two
And I’ll pull up a chair because I got to learn somehow, somewhere
Me, myself, and I, are sorry for the way

We tried to make it seem like we’re neurotypical
When we know there’s just some things that we can’t control
But I just wanted to fit in, didn’t wanna stand out
Din’ want you looking at me the way you looking at me right now
Before you knew that I’m not neurotypical
It’s a little bit 1991 pop song, to say, “Just be yourself”
So call me a 1991 pop song, don’t wanna be nobody else

Me, myself, and I, we got some growing up to do
So call the restaurant and set a table for two
And I’ll pull up a chair because I got to learn somehow, somewhere
Me, myself, and I, me, myself, and I, yeah

Piano here, ’cause that’s where it belongs
Two minutes in, is the perfect part of the song
For feelings

If I’m gonna say sorry, I’m gonna say it to myself
You take a lot of hate from the doubt I manifest
Listening to listeners lists makes inhibitions
That did not exist until the existence of my listening
Like a mirror or a scale is the definition of you
I’m sorry to my body for what I put you through
Not thanking you for walking with me when my mind was walking from me
How you carried life inside me gave me more joy than pounds could give me
I’m sorry to my soul, I was just a kid
I didn’t realize my profits were helping let you go
The people that I trusted to teach me everything
Became professors in the machine that’s anti-original
But I don’t even have to be like anybody else
I know it’s so cliché but I just wanna be myself
I’m sorry for the way I told you normal was a thing
And if you are imperfect then you know just what I mean

Me, myself, and I, we got some growing up to do
So call the restaurant and set a table for two
And I’ll pull up a chair because I got to learn somehow, somewhere
Me, myself, and I, oh
Me, myself, and I, we got some growing up to do
So call the restaurant and set a table for two
And I’ll pull up a chair because I got to learn somehow, somewhere
(I got to learn somehow, somewhere)
(Somehow, somewhere)

There’s no such thing as normal, yah yah, yow
Be who you are, there no such thing as normal
I say it again, say
Be who you are, there’s no such thing as normal, woah, oh
Be who you are, there’s no such thing as normal
Be who you are, there’s no such thing as normal
Say, be who you are, there’s no such thing as normal
Be who you are, be who you are
