THE WORLD FALLS AWAY

[yourattention]

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
