Just Like That

Catch your breath and look around

There's no monster waiting by

Nothing's crumbling to the ground

Nothing's tumbling from the sky

Notice how the world keeps turning

Life goes on

A moment comes

A moment goes

And just like that

The moment's gone

Now Ralphie, go upstairs and lie down

Randy? Hi

Can I come in?

What's the matter?

What you crying for?

Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie!

No, he's not

I promise you, Daddy is not going to kill anyone

Want some milk?

You would?

Oh, Randy

You know nothing's ever as bad as it seems

It never is

If you slip and scrape your knee

Think it's never gonna heal

In a day or two you'll see

It's just not that big a deal

And you're back to jumping, laughing

You've moved on

The moment comes

The moment goes

And just like that

The moment's gone

So, you felt like bursting

Somewhere deep, deep inside

And it overwhelmed you

So you cracked

So you cried

But it passes in an instant

Passes by so fast

Don't forget to remember these moments

Never last

I slowly began to realize

That I was not about to be destroyed

Notice how the world keeps turning

Life goes on

From then on

Things were different between me and my mother

And just like that

The moment's gone
