Title: Just South of Normal Verse 1 I’m just south of normal Just south of feeling okay A few minutes from happiness I can see it, but it feels far away Windows down, I’m driving slow Every light turns red again Got a map with all the answers But I don’t know where I’ve been Pre-Chorus I almost feel it in my hands Close enough to understand Then it slips away again Chorus I’m holding my breath Until I get there I’m feeling on edge Knowing it’s right there Like a shadow I can’t outrun Like a word I can’t quite say I’m just south of normal And a mile from being okay Verse 2 I smile like nothing’s broken Say I’m fine, yeah I’m alright But there’s something in the silence That gets louder every night I keep chasing better days Like they’re waiting up ahead But they move a little further Every step I think I’ve made Pre-Chorus I almost feel it on my skin Like I’m finally letting in Then it fades away again Chorus I’m holding my breath Until I get there I’m feeling on edge Knowing it’s right there Like a shadow I can’t outrun Like a word I can’t quite say I’m just south of normal And a mile from being okay Bridge (soft, emotional lift) Maybe I’m closer than I think Maybe I’m scared it won’t stay If I finally reach the feeling Will it drift away? Final Chorus (slight variation for growth) I was holding my breath But I let it go now I’m done living life On the edge of somehow If it’s right in front of me Maybe I don’t have to chase I’m not far from normal Just learning how to be okay Quick Neume Tips (so it works smoothly): Tempo: ~70–90 BPM Key ideas: C major, G major, or A major (easy soft pop feel) Chorus melody: Start lower, then lift on “holding my breath” for emotion Keep syllables clean (I adjusted lines so they’ll fit evenly into melody blocks)
Lyrics
I’m just south of normal
Just south of feeling okay
A few minutes from happiness
I can see it, but it feels far away
Windows down, I’m driving slow
Every light turns red again
Got a map with all the answers
But I don’t know where I’ve been
I almost feel it in my hands
Close enough to understand
Then it slips away again
I’m holding my breath
Until I get there
I’m feeling on edge
Knowing it’s right there
Like a shadow I can’t outrun
Like a word I can’t quite say
I’m just south of normal
And a mile from being okay
I smile like nothing’s broken
Say I’m fine, yeah I’m alright
But there’s something in the silence
That gets louder every night
I keep chasing better days
Like they’re waiting up ahead
But they move a little further
Every step I think I’ve made
I almost feel it on my skin
Like I’m finally letting in
Then it fades away again
I’m holding my breath
Until I get there
I’m feeling on edge
Knowing it’s right there
Like a shadow I can’t outrun
Like a word I can’t quite say
I’m just south of normal
And a mile from being okay
Maybe I’m closer than I think
Maybe I’m scared it won’t stay
If I finally reach the feeling
Will it drift away?
I was holding my breath
But I let it go now
I’m done living life
On the edge of somehow
If it’s right in front of me
Maybe I don’t have to chase
I’m not far from normal
Just learning how to be okay
