A Part of That Lyrics by Sherie Rene Scott

The Last 5 Years (Original Cast Recording)

2002

[CATHY]
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
