Maybe Happy Ending the Musical - Then I Can Let You Go Lyrics
Music & Lyrics by Will Aronson & Hue Park.
OLIVER:
They say when you're lovers
You gotta try dancing
So, let's give it a try
And after I've learned
Not to step on your toe
Then I can let you go
They say nothing's better
Than doing nothing together
So let's just stay in bed
And after we've wasted
The day like a pro
Then I can let you go
CLAIRE: (spoken)
8 hours, 37 minutes?
We can't just keep sitting like this!
OLIVER: (spoken)
Why not?
We should take advantage
Of the fact that our arms
And legs never fall asleep!
GIL BRENTLEY:
But first
Oh, but first
You'll go on dates
Share favorite books
Trade secret looks
And bicker
You'll just have to do it quicker
Than most
OLIVER: (spoken)
And this is Chet Baker's 'Sing'
CLAIRE: (spoken)
Didn't you already show me this one?
OLIVER: (spoken)
No, no, no,
That was Chet Baker and Strings
CLAIRE: (spoken)
You're still his best friend, HwaBoon.
I'm just his girlfriend!
So we're not competing
VOICE:
Mail chute: activating
You have one delivery
CLAIRE: (spoken)
Oh, Jazz Monthly: July issue
Great picture of- Oh my god!
OLIVER: (spoken)
No!
CLAIRE & OLIVER: (yelled)
Gil Brentley?! AAAAAAAAAAAAA!
CLAIRE: (yelled)
See, this is exactly what I was talking about-
You never listen to me!
OLIVER: (yelled)
I never listen to you,
Do you even hear yourself right now?!
(spoken)
Are we doing this right?
It doesn't seem very fun
CLAIRE: (spoken)
I was just getting into it, let's keep going!
OLIVER: (yelled)
All you ever care about is you!
CLAIRE: (yelled)
How you dare you talk to your girlfriend like that!
GIL BRENTLEY:
But first
Oh, but first
You'll go on dates
Share favorite books
Trade secret looks
And bicker
You'll just have to do it quicker
Than most
CLAIRE:
So now, should we end it?
OLIVER:
I'm ready if you are
CLAIRE & OLIVER:
Maybe just one more day
ALL:
When the glaciers are gone
And the Earth starts to slow
GIL BRENTLEY:
Then I can let you go
Then I can let you-
