A Part Of That Songtext / Lyric

CATHERINE

One day we're just like

“Leave It to Beaver.”

One day it's just a

Typical life,

And then he's off on

A trip to Jamie-land:

Staring catatonic out the window,

Barely even breathing all the while…



And then he'll smile,

His eyes light up, and deep within the ground,

Without a sound,

A moment comes to life,

And I'm a part of that.

I'm a part of that.

I'm a part of that.






Next day it's just like

It never happened –

We're making dinners,

We're making plans.

Then he gets on the

Mule train to Jamie-land:

Handful after handful of Doritos,

Circling the apartment, logging miles…



And then he smiles,

His eyes light up, and how can I complain?

Yes, he's insane,

But look what he can do,

And I'm a part of that.

I'm a part of that.

I'm a part of that…



And it's true,

I tend to follow in his stride,

Instead of side by side,

I take his cue.

True, but there's no question, there's no doubt –

I said I'd stick it out

And follow through,

And when I do –



Then he smiles,

And where else can I go?

I didn't know

The rules do not apply.

And then he smiles,

And nothing else makes sense

While he invents

The world that's passing by,

And I'm a part of that.

I'm a part of that.

I'm a part of that,

Aren't I?



I'm a part of that,

I'm a part of that.

I'm a part of that.
