Lyrics

[CRAIG, spoken] Where's Mom?! [LEILA, spoken] I don't know. I took the bus [CRAIG] What?! You're eleven! [LEILA] Why do people always remind me how old I am? [CRAIG] What are you doing here? [LEILA] I've been reading up on your condition- and on the human psyche in general, and… [sung] Did you know that your brain changes Every time someone pays you a compliment? The thrill of it is so overwhelming In seconds your world can totally change And did you know that listening to someone Triggers the part of your brain Where happiness lives? Happiness gives your brain a rush! Reading a book, or having a crush It's all so much That when it's missing You think you're kissing sanity goodbye But everyone around you seems to see the things you can't You are capable of having an impact And while chasing after self-exploration The pressure seems absurd It's easy to feel alone When you aren't feeling heard [LEILA, spoken] I found this in my room this morning. It's the first picture you drew of me [CRAIG] Of you? I-I didn't know you kept it? [LEILA, spoken] Of course I did. I love it [sung] Did you know that being creative Helps depression stop in its tracks? The joy of it is just so fulfilling In seconds you feel like you spring back to life! Did you know that seeing you happy Sitting there drawing Is something I'm starting to miss Happiness gives your brain a lift When telling a joke, you're feeling a shift You have a gift So when it's restricted Life gets pretty hard Everyone around you seems to see the things you don't You are capable of having an impact It's a scary path to self exploration The lines are getting blurred It's easy to feel alone When you aren't feeling heard And you know that you don't have to be the hero Or find an answer in a brochure So as your sister, Craig, I promise to hang on every single word No one wants to feel alone We all want to be heard [CRAIG, spoken] Thanks, Einstein. Sorry if I'm a little messed up [LEILA, spoken] Craig. My favorite book is a tie between Amelia Bedelia and Finnegans Wake. We're all a little messed up
