BENNY

I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT ME WITH PRIDE
LIKE YOU DID ONCE IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT
BACK WHEN I WAS STILL YOUR LITTLE HERO
Remember?

MADALYN
I remember.

BENNY
AND YOU WERE MINE

[Piano stops]

MADALYN
Well, you can‘t go back.

[Piano resumes]
BENNY
What if I could?

MADALYN
Agh.

BENNY
What if I could start again? And- and change everything!

I WANNA GET BACK OUT THERE JUST ONCE MORE
FIND THAT PLACE RIGHT WHERE I LEFT OFF
I WANT YOU TO WATCH AS I PICK UP THE PIECES
AND LAY THEM ALL OUT RIGHT BEFORE YOU

I WANNA TAKE YOU WHERE I SHOULD HAVE GONE
SHARE ALL THE DAYS YOU NEVER SAW
I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU WERE RIGHT TO BELIEVE IN ME
WHEN I GAVE YOU NO REASON.

BUT THE ONE THING I WANT THE MOST
WHAT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW:
IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO DESERVE YOU
ONCE MORE.
