This is our better off love story
Try to find the words to say
No, I didn’t see this for me
I think of what we want -
It’s not this
And yet this is what it is
Everything that I thought I wanted
Look at how it pales away
And what’s left is our love story
And I know we don’t know what it is and yet it is what we need
Lemme tell you our love story
Now we’ve found the words to say
It changed shape and I’m not sorry
Not what we thought at the start
Not perfect
But perfect is how it feels today
How it feels today
How it feels today
Oh it’s how it feels
(Ohhhhh)
Now you’re here with me
I can finally
Say, my love, I know
This is what I need
Now I’ve got you here
We’ll forget it all
We’ll burn it to the ground
Cos this is all we need
Now you’re here with me
This is our better off love story
I can finally
Try to find the words to say
Say, my love, I know
Even though I didn’t see this for me
This is what I need
Oh yes it is what I need
Now I’ve got you here
Everything that you thought you wanted
We’ll forget it all
Look at how it pales away
We’ll burn it to the ground
And what’s left is our love story
Cos this is all we need
Oh yes it is all we need today
All we need today
All we need today
Oh it’s all we need
And so they went forth and wrote it, replacing their real names with their middle names…
…which actually happened to be those of two characters from another musical in which the relationship you root for isn’t the romantic one, but the one between a woman and a tiny, twinky queer-icon
And when they’d finished, they knew that it was what they needed to see today… instead of Twilight for the fortieth time
Something where friendship-love
And friendship-love alone
Is the happy ever after
All we need today
All we need today
All we need today
All we need.
