The View UpStairs by The View UpStairs Original Off-Broadway Cast Lyrics

[WES]
I told you the future would be great
So won't it hurry and arrive
How long do I have to wait?

How do I go back to my life?
Smile and pretend I have it all:
A closet full of clothes I just look at
And a phone full of such fabulous friends
Who never seem to call
Ten million people could follow me
Would it make me feel any less alone?
To fill this emptiness, how much money do I need?
And is it worth a life spent on my own?

Without another soul to lean on
A reason to care
And all those stupid things you do in love –
I never thought I had enough to share
But you saw something in me
Not beyond repair and I hope you were right;
That I won't leave with only tragedy tonight
'Cause the ending's still mine
The ending's still mine to write
It's not too late for me to change
If I don't waste time on being fake
I need something that's real
I want to find a family
Not just the one I grew up with
But the one I'll choose to make

And in a world full of darkness
We create our own paradise
'Cause I've gained a second sight
Found love and had it stolen the same night
But the ending's still mine
The ending's still mine to write
It's still mine to write
It's still mine to write
It's still mine to write

[WES (& CAST)]
And the nights we braved together
Live on inside our hearts (I think I found some kind of paradise)
We've got an iron bond (I think I found some kind of paradise)
No hate could break apart (I think I found some kind of)
Now and forever, come whatever (I think I found some kind of)
Now and forever, come whatever (I think I found some kind of paradise)
Now and forever, come whatever (Now and forever, whatever)
Now and forever, come whatever (Come whatever)
You and I (You and I)
