[ALL]
So many ways to slice a piece of this life
But most of the time it's in the quarter-life crisis
What’s on your plate at any given time
Can change with the specials and a jukebox dime

Down at the diner

[JENNA]
Start to feel a little lighter

[ALL]
Yeah, down at the diner
Look around and feel better
We're all in this together

[BECKY]
I wouldn't call this place a happy end
But I been ’round the block and just came back again
Ain't seen the world yet, but I know this much
Might as well call home wherever my ass ends up

[ALL]
Down at the diner

[BECKY]
Don't need to tell them why I'm here
[ALL]
They know me at the diner

[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
And in every single bite is a little bit of life

[JENNA]
Every day
What you got

[DAWN]
You bring it with you

[BECKY]
Share your lot

[ALL]
With the rest of us
We're all just
Doing the best we can
With how it goes
This small town is all we know

[DAWN]
Ordered up, it's hot like my days to find me [?]
Everything here has its place and timing
I've never been someone who fits right in
But I've found myself organizing condiments
[ALL]
Down at the diner

[DAWN]
I’m exp’nentially wiser

[ALL]
Yeah, down at the diner
Whatever you are, there's room at the bar

So many days do we do in a row [?]
It’s the little things that keep us afloat
Thank God for the oasis
The people in places that save us and serve as reminder

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Uh, waitress?
Waitress!
Excuse me, waitress?

[BECKY, spoken]
Hang on just a second!

[CAL, spoken]
Order up!
[ALL]
Every day, begin again
Take a seat and settle in
With the rest of us
We're all just
Trying to get by
When it gets hard
This small town is who we are

[ENSEMBLE]
It's the heartbeat

[JENNA, spoken]
Toast on the side!

[ENSEMBLE]
The center

[BECKY, spoken]
Two kickass pies!

[ENSEMBLE]
The lifeline

[DAWN, spoken]
Coffee to go!

[ENSEMBLE]
You enter
It's the heartbeat

[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
The heartbeat

[ENSEMBLE]
The center

[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
The center

[ENSEMBLE]
The lifeline

[JENNA, BECKY & DAWN]
The lifeline

[ENSEMBLE]

[ENSEMBLE]
It’s the heartbeat (the heartbeat)
The center (the center)
The lifeline (the lifeline)

[ALL]
Down at the diner, ahh
