Normal
Katie Pruitt Lyrics

Marchin' in line in the halls of my Catholic school
Walking obediently in the corridors of my Catholic school.

Seven Hail Marys if I copped an attitude
Seven prayers to the Virgin Mary as penance if I displayed insolent behavior.

And God was a word I had spoken but I hardly knew
I spoke about God, but had only a vague understanding of Him.

Kneelin' down at the altar with no clue who I was talkin' to
Kneeling at the church alter without knowing to whom I was praying.

Stumblin' 'round Athens with frat boys in hot pursuit
Wandering aimlessly in Athens with fraternity men chasing after me.

Left me starin' at the ceilin', pissed off and feelin' used
Afterwards, I felt angry and used, staring at the ceiling.

Wasted and worn out and wonderin', "Where do I fit?"
Feeling exhausted and lost, wondering where I belong.

And scared as hell 'cause I knew I was different
I was petrified because I realized I was different.

Did they want what's best or did they want what's easiest?
I questioned whether others wanted the best for me, or just what was convenient.

'Cause I tried my best, but goddamn, was I curious
Although I did my utmost, my curiosity sometimes got the better of me.

And she had me high as the sun on a Saturday afternoon
She made me ecstatically happy, like the sun shining at midday on a Saturday.

With no way to unsee this side of me that she introduced
After she showed me the other side of myself, I couldn't unsee it.

Curled up on the couch, you look just as worn out as me
Sitting on the sofa with you, I see you're as drained as I am.

Tryin' to act certain in a world of uncertainty
Attempting to maintain composure amidst an environment of uncertainty.

And one night, the moonlight took over and I kissed your lips
Then one night, the moonlight led to me kissing your lips.

The world told us to fit in, but we did the opposite
Society expected us to conform, but we rebelled.
