THE WORLD FALLS AWAY

Base Song: Only Us, Dear Evan Hansen

Summary: Do you ever just, like, fuck up so badly you just erase an entire person out of your memory? Just Connor? Oh.

[miguel]
I don't need you to sell me on reasons to want you
I don't need you to search for the proof that I can't
You don't have to convince me
You don't have to be scared you're not enough
'Cause what we've got going is good

I can give more reminders of how much I want you
I don't want you to fix what you'd rather forget
Clear the slate and start over
Try to quiet the noises in your head
I can't compete with all that

Con, what if it's us?
What if it's us
And only us
And what came before
won't count anymore or matter?
Can we try that?

What if it's you
And what if it's me
And what if that's all that we need it to be
And the rest of the world falls away?
What do you say?

[connor]
I never thought there'd be someone like you 
who would want me
So I give you ten thousand reasons to push me away
But if you really see me
If you like me for me and nothing else
Well, that's all that I've wanted
for longer that you could possibly know

But it can't be us
It can't be us
And only us
'cause what came before 
just counts even more and matters
Don't you get that?

[miguel]
It's not so impossible

[connor]
Nobody else but the two of us here

[miguel]
But I'm saying it's possible
We can just watch the whole world disappear
'Til you're the only one
I still know how to see

It's just you and me
It'll be us, It'll be us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore
Can we try that?

You and me
It's all that you need it to be
Let the rest of the world fall away
Let the rest of the world fall away

[connor]
The world falls away
The world falls away
And it's only us
