Are You There?

Do you know-well, of course you do-
What it's like to stand outside?
To watch the world and wish
You didn't hurt so much, you cried
I know I'm not the only one
And I know I shouldn't care
But when I feel these things are real
I wish I felt you there
And if I did, I'd ask you
How come life is so unfair?

Do you know-well, of course you do-
What it's like to be afraid?
That nothing will become
Of all the plans that you have made?
So I watch the girls surround him
And he says it's just a game
I guess that I believe him
But it hurts me just the same
And I'm all about this stupid act
So who am I to blame?

Are you there? Are you there?
Do you watch me when I cry?
And if it's in your power,
How can you sit idly by?
I try so hard to please you
But you never seem to see.

Is it my fate to sit and wait?

Wonder what my struggle means.

I wish I knew that someone out there cared.

Are you there?

Cared for me.

Who's out there?

?

Yeah!
Are you alright?

I'm fine

Here, have some wine.

This is holy wine!

The Father hasn't blessed it yet

In that case?

Grab a chalice

Thanks.
Life sucks?

Here, have the rest
So why'd you leave?

The party?

Yeah

I was getting kind of bored.

[Laugh] Oh, me too!

There's another reason?

Yeah?

It sucks to be ignored.

I know!
I always fight to do what's right, and this is my reward.

This is my reward.

Are you there? Are you there?
Can you make some time for me?
They tell me that you're out there
And they tell me that you see
I try to find the meaning
God, you know how hard I've tried
But I don't know where I'm going
And I don't have any guide.

They said things would get better
But I guess?they lied.

Are you there?
He needs to give me more!

I'll drink to that!

Who cares if people think we're fine?
We've been through this before!
One day he'll wake up
And realize all he needs is me
Until then, God, I wish I knew
I need a guarantee.

I need to know for sure that you'll be there.

Send a sign so that I know you're there.

There for me.

Send a sign so that I know you're there.

Send a sign so that I know you're there.

There for me
[They begin awkwardly and drunkenly waltzing with no rhythm or leader]

Who's leading?

Well, who usually leads?
[ whispers in 's ear that he and Jason are boyfriends, I audible to the audience]

I'm going to bed
Catch you later, ok?
