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.

I WANT YOU TO WAKE UP IN A WORLD
WHERE ALL THIS WAS JUST ONE STOP ON THE WAY
I WANT YOU TO SEE ALL THAT YOU ONCE EXPECTED
NOT WHAT YOU‘D SETTLE FOR NOW.

I WANNA GIVE US BOTH ANOTHER LOOK
BACK WHEN NO MIRACLE WAS EVER A SURPRISE
