Lyrics of 'Make Up Your Mind / Catch Me I'm Falling' by Next To Normal

[Doctor Madden]
Walk with me
Walk with me

[Diana]
Okay, walking

[Doctor Madden]
Go all the way down
Down a long flight of stairs

[Diana]
Stairs

[Doctor Madden]
Go step by step into
The darkness down there

[Diana]
Should we turn on a light? You know, with the stairs?

[Doctor Madden]
Walk with me
Down a hall
A hall that you know
At the end there's a door
It's a door that you've never
Laid eyes on before
Open the door
Open the door
Can you hear me, Diana?

[Diana]
Yes

Doctor Madden
Are you nervous?

[Diana]
No

[Doctor Madden]
Good. Now
Make up your mind
To explore yourself
Make up your mind
You have stories to tell
We'll search in your past
For what sorrows may last
Then make up your mind
To be well

[Dan]
Di, you come home from these sessions in tears. Is this
helping, or...? Di? Di?

[Diana]
We were both undergrads. Architecture. The baby wasn't
planned. Neither was the marriage. I had always expected
to be too busy. But when the baby came it all seemed to
make sense. Until... Until

[Doctor Madden]
Until?

[Dan]
He's not here
He's not here
Love, I know

[Dan & Voices]
You know

[Doctor Madden]
Make up your mind
That you're strong enough
Make up your mind
Let the truth be revealed
Admit what you've lost
And live with the cost
At times it does hurt
To be healed

[Gabe]
Catch me I'm falling

[Doctor Madden]
In our first session you told me

[Gabe]
Catch me I'm falling

[Doctor Madden]
...that talking through your history

[Gabe]
Faster than anyone should

[Gabe & Diana]
Catch me I'm falling

[Doctor Madden]
...it feels like it's about someone else

[Gabe & Diana]
Please hear me calling

[Doctor Madden]
Make it about you

[Gabe & Diana]
Catch me I'm falling for good

[Diana]
We had Natalie to... And I know she knows. I couldn't hold
her in the hospital. I couldn't let myself hold her

[Doctor Madden]
That's the first time you've mentioned Natalie in weeks
of therapy

[Natalie]
She's not there

[Natalie & Voices]
She's not there
She's not there

[Doctor Madden]
Make up your mind
You want clarity
Take what you know
And make it make sense
Just face what you fear
And soon it comes clear
The visions are just your defense

[The next five parts are sung simultaneously]

[Doctor Madden]
Make up your mind
You can live at last
Make up your mind
To be fully alive
Embrace what's inside
Replace what has died
Then make up your mind
You'll survive

[Diana]
Catch me
I'm falling
Falling
Falling

[Dan]
He's not here
Love
It's
Time to go
Oh!

[Gabe]
I'm alive
I'm alive
Alive
Alive

[Natalie]
Take a look
Take a look
The Invisible Girl
Falling

[Diana, Dan, Gabe & Natalie]
Catch me I'm falling
Catch me I'm falling
Flying headfirst into fate

Catch me I'm falling
Please hear me calling
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me I'm falling
Catch me I'm falling
Catch me I'm falling
