What if we got an apartment together
Somewhere in the city
Or out in the country?
And what if we both took a chance on moving ahead?
What if...
Ami:
We couldn't afford to!
Ben:
Ami...
What if
For once you were not so pedantic-I'm joking!
But what if you let down your guard?
'Cause what if what lies just beyond is better instead?
What if there's no more holding back?
Imagine our house by the beach
With two kids
Where we'll teach them to play in the sand
I don't care
As long as you're there
It's the next step!
Ami:
It's a big step, and we don't know each other that well.
Ben:
Well enough.
I could get a job in a bar or a restaurant.
Ami:
Or you could show your pictures.
Ben:
Just to pay rent
So the evenings are spent in your arms.
We'll make it work somehow
But only if...
Ami:
Wait, Ben
What if you find that I'm more of a nightmare,
You might regret it.
Ben:
Forget it!
Ami:
Or worse!
Ben:
Ami!
Ami:
What if the things that I do scare you away?
Ben:
Yeah, okay, nothing's guaranteed
But what's the point standing still
When we've found on this hill we have so much to share?
It's fine I swear
As long as you're there
Ami:
I don't know, Ben.
It's too soon
Things work better when slow, Ben
Let it go, Ben.
It's too much
Could be such a mistake
What if it breaks us?
'Cause it might and I'm frightened
It makes us both forget and lose sight of the way we are
Up here
Right now.
Ben:
Up here
We can start anew
Build a life that's me and you.
From now on
We are one
Trust me, Ami
What's the worst that happen?
Ami:
Absolute carnage and heartbreak.
Ben:
Really?
Ami:
And what about Daddy? He needs me.
Ben:
What about what you need?
It's time to do something for you, for us.
Come on, it's worth a try, don't you think?
Ami:
Okay.
Ben:
Just 'okay'? It'll be dark in half an hour.
I'm going to need more than an 'okay' or I'm going back to the car.
Ami:
Don't ever leave me.
Ben:
Believe me
I'm here till the end.
Both:
Always (Always)
What if right now is the start of a journey
Together, forever,
Two souls intertwined,
Painting a landscape that nobody else needs to see
Right now
Ami/Ben:
This is that moment
We are
We have to choose
Breathing the
Do we leap into darkness
Same air
Despite what we lose?
Knowing
Our love is rooted deep
And twice as strong
As long as you are there with me.
