《Better Than Before》歌词

[00:00:00] Better Than Before (《近乎正常》音乐剧插曲) - Alice Ripley/Robert Spencer/Jennifer Damiano/Louis Hobson

[00:00:00] The memories are there

[00:00:01] Somewhere

[00:00:02] Find some pictures you can share

[00:00:05] Keepsakes of the life that's

[00:00:07] There behind her

[00:00:13] Keep it light at first that's best

[00:00:16] Careful that she's not distressed

[00:00:18] When the time's right

[00:00:20] Tell the rest

[00:00:21] Remind her

[00:00:24] You'll find her

[00:00:32] So let's start with something small

[00:00:34] Something personal and pretty

[00:00:38] I bet you'll know these shiny things

[00:00:42] They must be tacky trinkets from I guess atlantic city

[00:00:47] No actu'ly di

[00:00:49] They're our wedding rings

[00:00:51] It's going well

[00:00:52] Here's a flower from our wedding

[00:00:55] You were such a sight to see

[00:00:57] And the ceremony everything we'd hoped

[00:01:01] Um dad

[00:01:03] Well that's how I remember it

[00:01:05] So that's how it'll be

[00:01:08] It was raining

[00:01:09] It was portland

[00:01:10] You eloped

[00:01:11] I mean portland

[00:01:14] It's an open book to write here

[00:01:16] It's a life we can restore

[00:01:19] We can get back what we had

[00:01:21] And maybe more

[00:01:24] Maybe get us back to better

[00:01:26] Than before

[00:01:34] Here's the year we drove the west

[00:01:36] We hit the highway in the honda

[00:01:40] And I took pictures

[00:01:41] Everywhere we went

[00:01:44] We saw the painted desert

[00:01:47] The grand canyon

[00:01:48] And aunt rhonda

[00:01:50] And nat learned what

[00:01:50] Her middle finger meant

[00:01:54] Here's the first house that we owned

[00:01:57] On walton way we loved that place

[00:02:00] Then we built this one on land

[00:02:02] That we both chose

[00:02:04] And here's a pic of all of us

[00:02:07] With smiles on ev'ry face

[00:02:10] And the photoshopping

[00:02:12] Hardly even shows

[00:02:15] We're standing by a lake

[00:02:17] With all theses ducks

[00:02:20] And who's this little chubby girl

[00:02:23] That's natalie

[00:02:24] This sucks

[00:02:28] Gonna get us back to normal

[00:02:31] Gonna get us back to good

[00:02:33] Gonna get back what we had

[00:02:35] And maybe more

[00:02:38] Gonna get us back to good times

[00:02:41] And forget the things we should

[00:02:43] Gonna get us back to better than before

[00:02:48] We can get things back to better than before

[00:02:53] All right fine

[00:02:57] Here's the headline in the paper

[00:03:00] When you freaked out at the market

[00:03:02] Here's the house on walton way

[00:03:05] After the fire

[00:03:06] Natalie

[00:03:08] Here's the damage to the honda

[00:03:10] When you showed me how to park it

[00:03:13] Did we crush somebody's cat beneath the tire

[00:03:17] Yes ours

[00:03:19] Here's dad at my recital

[00:03:21] And we're wond'ring where you are

[00:03:24] I remember this

[00:03:25] I made it to the school

[00:03:28] Wait you remember

[00:03:29] It was the year of too much lithium

[00:03:32] I hid out in the car

[00:03:34] Yes

[00:03:34] And your swim meet

[00:03:36] Just last year

[00:03:37] I'm in the pool

[00:03:38] So you are

[00:03:40] You're getting it

[00:03:41] You've got it di

[00:03:42] Hooray

[00:03:45] Your life has kind of sucked

[00:03:47] I think

[00:03:47] You got it yay

[00:03:49] Hooray hooray hooray

[00:03:53] Gonna get back what I lost there

[00:03:55] Gonna find out who I was

[00:03:57] Gonna open up the gates and let it pour

[00:04:03] And if mem'ry makes things better

[00:04:05] Well mem'ry always does

[00:04:07] Gonna get us back to better than before

[00:04:13] Make ev'rything much better than before

[00:04:15] Won't anything be

[00:04:17] Better than before

[00:04:18] I guess is must be

[00:04:19] Better than before

[00:04:22] Better than before
