Maybe Happy Ending the Musical - How To Be Not Alone Lyrics
Music & Lyrics by Will Aronson & Hue Park.
CLAIRE:
So here we are, in some motel
Trying to do what neither of us does well
We have to not be alone
I'm cringing less, I'm laughing more
As I forget the stranger you were before
Slowly getting in sync
And I'm beginning to think
It's not so bad
Discovering how this works
Adjusting to your quirks
Even though it's not my style
Teach me to not be alone
It's not so hard
To let somebody in
Just think how long it's been
Since somebody made you smile
Learn how to not be alone
And by tomorrow
Seems absurd, but do you suppose
That you and I might wake up to find repose
At being not alone
OLIVER: (spoken)
Hey, I was thinking of switching up
The playlist tomorrow,
So instead of late swing era,
It'd be more post-bop,
Birth of the cool kinds of tracks,
J-room moon dreams, ? -
CLAIRE:
So yes, it's hard
Indulging him when he's
Describing his LPs
Or conversing with his plant
It takes work to not be alone
But I'm improving
And do I sense
A change in you
A little hint
That you might be learning too
How to be not alone
OLIVER: (spoken)
I'm going to power down, now,
So you can keep using my charger
CLAIRE:
The open road
A vast unknown
OLIVER: (spoken)
Hey, I was thinking of switching up
The playlist tomorrow,
So instead of late swing era,
It'd be more post-bop,
Birth of the cool kinds of tracks,
J-room moon dreams, ?-
CLAIRE:
So yes, it's hard
Indulging him when he's
Describing his LPs
Or conversing with his plant
It takes work to not be alone
But I'm improving
And do I sense
A change in you
A little hint
That you might be learning too
How to be not alone
OLIVER: (spoken)
I'm going to power down, now,
So you can keep using my charger
CLAIRE:
The open road
A vast unknown
OLIVER: (spoken)
We get to sleep in a motel!
Goodnight, Claire
CLAIRE:
But look at us
We're not alone
