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[00:00:00]

Somewhere[00:00:01]

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

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

There behind her[00:00:07]

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

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

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

Tell the rest[00:00:20]

Remind her[00:00:21]

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

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

Something personal and pretty[00:00:34]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Um dad[00:01:01]

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

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

It was raining[00:01:08]

It was portland[00:01:09]

You eloped[00:01:10]

I mean portland[00:01:11]

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

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

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

And maybe more[00:01:21]

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

Than before[00:01:26]

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

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

And I took pictures[00:01:40]

Everywhere we went[00:01:41]

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

The grand canyon[00:01:47]

And aunt rhonda[00:01:48]

And nat learned what[00:01:50]

Her middle finger meant[00:01:50]

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

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

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

That we both chose[00:02:02]

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

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

And the photoshopping[00:02:10]

Hardly even shows[00:02:12]

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

With all theses ducks[00:02:17]

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

That's natalie[00:02:23]

This sucks[00:02:24]

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

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

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

And maybe more[00:02:35]

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

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

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

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

All right fine[00:02:53]

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

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

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

After the fire[00:03:05]

Natalie[00:03:06]

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

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

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

Yes ours[00:03:17]

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

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

I remember this[00:03:24]

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

Wait you remember[00:03:28]

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

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

Yes[00:03:34]

And your swim meet[00:03:34]

Just last year[00:03:36]

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

So you are[00:03:38]

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

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

Hooray[00:03:42]

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

I think[00:03:47]

You got it yay[00:03:47]

Hooray hooray hooray[00:03:49]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Better than before[00:04:17]

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

Better than before[00:04:19]

Better than before[00:04:22]
