I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slippin' up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound, will I ever make a sound?
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window, oh
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
Oh, is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Ben Platt - For Forever
End of May or early June
This picture-perfect afternoon we shared
Drive the winding country road
Grab a scoop at À La Mode
And then we're there
An open field that's framed with trees
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
Like buddies do
Quoting songs by our favorite bands
Telling jokes no one understands
Except us two
And we talk and take in the view
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Feels like we could go on for forever this way
Two friends on a perfect day
We walk a while and talk about
The things we'll do when we get out of school
Bike the Appalachian trail or
Write a book or learn to sail
Wouldn't that be cool?
There's nothing that we can't discuss
Like girls we wish would notice us but never do
He looks around and says to me
"There's nowhere else I'd rather be"
And I say, "me too"
And we talk and take in the view
We just talk and take in the view
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way
All we see is light for forever
'Cause the sun shines bright for forever
Like we'll be alright for forever this way
Two friends on a perfect day
And there he goes
Racing toward the tallest tree
From far across the yellow field I hear him calling, "follow me" there we go
Wondering how the world might look from up so high
One foot after the other
One branch then to another
I climb higher and higher
I climb 'til the entire
Sun shines on my face
And I suddenly feel the branch give way
I'm on the ground
My arm goes numb
I look around
And I see him come to get me
He's come to get me
And everything's okay
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Buddy, you and I for forever this way, this way
All we see is light
'Cause the sun burns bright
We could be alright for forever this way
Two friends
True friends
On a perfect day
This picture-perfect afternoon we shared
Drive the winding country road
Grab a scoop at À La Mode
And then we're there
An open field that's framed with trees
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
Like buddies do
Quoting songs by our favorite bands
Telling jokes no one understands
Except us two
And we talk and take in the view
All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Feels like we could go on for forever this way

All we see is light
'Cause the sun burns bright
We could be alright for forever this way
Two friends
True friends
On a perfect day

Colton Ryan - Sincerely Me
[ Featuring Ben Platt, Nik Dodani ]
Dear Evan Hansen
We've been way too out of touch
Things have been crazy
And it sucks that we don't talk that much
But I should tell you that I think of you each night
I rub my nipples and start moaning with delight
Why would you write that?
I'm just trying to tell the truth
This needs to be perfect these emails have to prove that we were actually friends
Just I'll do it
I've gotta tell you, life without you has been hard (Hard?)
Has been bad (Bad?)
Has been rough (Kinky!)
And I miss talking about life and other stuff
Very specific Shut up!
I like my parents
Who says that?
I love my parents but each day's another fight
If I stop smoking drugs
Then everything might be alright
Smoking drugs? (Just fix it!)
If I stop smoking crack (Crack?!)
If I stop smoking pot
Then everything might be alright
I'll take your advice
I'll try to be more nice
I'll turn it around
Wait and see
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It's easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be
Sincerely, Me
Are we done yet?
Well I can't just give them one email I want to show that I was, like, a good friend, you know?
Oh my god
Dear Connor Murphy, Yes, I also miss our talks
Stop doing drugs Just try to take deep breaths and go on walks (no)
I'm sending pictures of the most amazing trees (No)
You'll be obsessed with all my forest expertise (Absolutely not)
Dude, I'm proud of you
Just keep pushing through
You're turning around
I can see
Just wait and see!
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It's easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be
Sincerely, Me
My sister's hot
What the hell! (My bad)
Dear Evan Hansen,
Thanks for every note you send
Dear Connor Murphy,
I'm just glad to be your friend
Our friendship goes beyond
Your average kind of bond
But not because we're gay
No, not because we're gay
We're close, but not that way
The only man that I love is my dad
Well anyway!
You're getting better every day
I'm getting better every day
We're getting better every day
Hey hey hey hey!
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It's easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be
Sincerely
Miss you dearly
Sincerely, Me
Sincerely, Me
Sincerely, Me
Sincerely, Me

Kaitlyn Dever - Requiem
[ Featuring Danny Pino, Amy Adams ]
[ZOE]
Why should I play this game of pretend?
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
Such a great son and wonderful friend
Oh, don't the tears just pour?
I could curl up and hide in my room
There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow
I could give in to all of the gloom
But tell me, tell me what for
Why should I have a heavy heart?
Why should I start to break in pieces?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
I will sing no requiem tonight
[LARRY, spoken]
I'm going to bed.
[CYNTHIA, spoken]
Come sit with me.
[LARRY]
Cynthia.
[CYNTHIA]
You can't stand to be in this room for five minutes?
[LARRY]
I'm exhausted.
[CYNTHIA]
You know, Larry, at somе point you're going to have to start dealing-
[LARRY]
Not tonight. Plеase.
[CYNTHIA]
Just read this.
[LARRY]
I'll keep the light on for you
[LARRY, sung]
I gave you the world, you threw it away
Leaving these broken pieces behind you
Everything wasted, nothing to say
So I can sing no requiem
[CYNTHIA]
I hear your voice, I feel you near
Within these words, I finally find you
And now that I know that you are still here
I will sing no requiem tonight
[ZOE & LARRY]
Why should I have a heavy heart?
[ZOE]
Why should I say I'll keep you with me?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
(I can see your light)
I will sing no requiem
Tonight
'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
No one lights a candle to remember
No, no one mourns at all
When they lay them down to sleep
So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
After all you put me through
Don't say it wasn't true
That you were not the monster
That I knew
'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark
[LARRY]
I will sing no requiem
[CYNTHIA]
I will sing no requiem
[ZOE]
I will sing no requiem tonight
[LARRY & CYNTHIA]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[ZOE]
Oh-oh
[ZOE, LARRY, & CYNTHIA]
Oh-ohhh

Ben Platt and Laura Dreyfuss - If I Could Tell Her
[ Featuring Laura Dreyfuss ]
He thought you were awesome
He thought I was awesome? My brother?
Definitely!
How?
Well, he said
There's nothing like your smile
Sort of subtle and perfect and real
He said
You never knew how wonderful
That smile could make someone feel
And he knew
Whenever you get bored
You scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans
And he noticed
That you still fill out the quizzes
That they put in those teen magazines
But he kept it all inside his head
What he saw he left unsaid
And though he wanted to
He couldn't talk to you
He couldn't find the way
But he would always say
If I could tell her
Tell her everything I see
If I could tell her
How she's everything to me
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could tell her
Did he say anything else?
About you?
Never mind, I don't really care anyways
No, no, no just, no, no he said, he said so many things
I'm just, I'm trying to remember the best ones so, um
He thought
You looked really pretty, er
It looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair
He did?
And he wondered how you learned to dance
Like all the rest of the world isn't there
But he kept it all inside his head
What he saw he left unsaid
If I could tell her
Tell her everything I see
If I could tell her
How she's everything to me
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could tell her
But what do you do when there's this great divide?
He just seemed so far away
And what do you do when the distance is too wide?
It's like I don't know anything
And how do you say
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could

Ben Platt - Words Fail
I never meant to make it such a mess
I never thought that it would go this far
So I just stand here sorry
Searching for something to say
Something to say
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
I guess I thought I could be part of this
I never had this kind of thing before
I never had that perfect girl
Who somehow could see the good part of me
I never had the dad who stuck it out
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
No mom who just was there
'Cause mom was all that she had to be
That's not a worthy explanation
I know there is none
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
And it's right there, right there, right there
In front of you
And you want to believe it's true
So you make it true
And you think maybe everybody wants it
And needs it, a little bit too
This was just a sad invention
It wasn't real, I know
But we were happy
I guess I couldn't let that go
I guess I couldn't give that up
I guess I wanted to believe
'Cause if I just believe
Then I don't have to see what's really there
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
And no one gets to look at it
No, no one can really see
'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
I never let them see the worst of me
'Cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
All I ever do is run
So how do I step in
Step into the sun?
Step into the sun
I never thought that it would go this far
So I just stand here sorry
Searching for something to say
Something to say
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
I guess I thought I could be part of this
I never had this kind of thing before
I never had that perfect girl
Who somehow could see the good part of me
I never had the dad who stuck it out
No corny jokes or baseball gloves

Julianne Moore - So Big/So Small
It was a February day
When your dad came by, before going away
A U-Haul truck in the driveway
The day it was suddenly real
I told you not to come outside
But you saw that truck and you smiled so wide
A real live truck in your driveway
We let you sit behind the wheel
Goodbye, goodbye
Now it's just me and my little guy
And the house felt so big, and I felt so small
The house felt so big, and I felt so small
That night, I tucked you into bed
I will never forget how you sat up and said
"Is there another truck coming to our driveway
A truck that will takе mommy away?"
And the house felt so big, and I fеlt so small
The house felt so big, and I-
And I knew there would be moments that I'd miss
And I knew there would be space I couldn't fill
And I knew I'd come up short a million different ways
And I did
And I do
And I will
But like that February day
I will take your hand, squeeze it tightly and say
There's not another truck in the driveway
Your mom isn't going anywhere
Your mom is staying right here
Your mom isn't going anywhere
Your mom is staying right here
No matter what
I'll be here
When it all feels so big
'Til it all feels so small
When it all feels so big
'Til it all feels so small
'Til it all feels so small
When your dad came by, before going away
A U-Haul truck in the driveway
The day it was suddenly real
I told you not to come outside
But you saw that truck and you smiled so wide
A real live truck in your driveway
We let you sit behind the wheel
Goodbye, goodbye
Now it's just me and my little guy
And the house felt so big, and I felt so small
The house felt so big, and I felt so small
That night, I tucked you into bed
I will never forget how you sat up and said
"Is there another truck coming to our driveway
A truck that will takе mommy away?"
And the house felt so big, and I fеlt so small
The house felt so big, and I-
And I knew there would be moments that I'd miss
And I knew there would be space I couldn't fill
And I knew I'd come up short a million different ways
And I did
And I do
And I will
But like that February day
I will take your hand, squeeze it tightly and say
There's not another truck in the driveway
Your mom isn't going anywhere
Your mom is staying right here
Your mom isn't going anywhere
Your mom is staying right here
No matter what
I'll be here
When it all feels so big
'Til it all feels so small
When it all feels so big
'Til it all feels so small
'Til it all feels so small

Sam Smith - You Will Be Found
[ Featuring Summer Walker ]
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall and no one would hear?
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay
'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand
And oh, someone will come running
And I know they'll take you home
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Lift your head and look around
You will be found
You will be found
There's a place where we don't have to feel unknown (known)
And every time you call out you're a little less alone (lone)
Oh, if you only say the word (oh), oh
From across the silence, your voice is heard
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground (yeah)
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Lift your head and look around
You will be found (you will be found)
You will be found (found)
You will be found (you will be found)
You will be found
(Oh)
Out of the shadows
The morning is breaking
And all is new, that all is new
It's filling up the empty
And suddenly I see that all is new, all is new
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
Lift your head and look around
You will be found

SZA - The Anonymous Ones
Ever look at all the people
Seem to know exactly how to be
(How to be, how to be now, how to be)
You think they don't need piles
Of prescriptions to function naturally?
(Functioning natural)
Take a look and you might just catch it
Stay a minute more
(Minute more, minute more now, minute more)
There's a little moment after the sunny smile
Their eyes fall to the floor
(To the floor, to the floor now, to the floor)
And then truth starts peaking through
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too
The anonymous ones
Who never let you see the hate they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never named the quiet pain they bury
(They bury, they bury, they bur-)
Keep on keeping secrets
That they think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is
They have that secret side?
And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
(Anymore)
Spot the girl who stays in motion
Spins so fast so she won't fall
(World moving so fast, too fast)
She has built a wall of her redeemers
Keep out the question
Without it, is she worth anything at all?
Then truth starts peaking through
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too
The anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never named the quiet pain they bury
(They bury, they bury, they bur-)
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
The parts you can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not, heavy, heavy
Anonymous ones
Never let you see the hate they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never named the quiet pain they bury
Keep on keeping secrets

Carrie Underwood - Only Us
[ Featuring Dan Shay ]
I don't need you to sell me on reasons to want you
I don't need you to search for the proof that I should
You don't have to convince me
You don't have to be scared you're not enough
'Cause what we've got going is good
I don't need more reminders of all that's been broken
I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget
Clear the slate and start over
Try to quiet the noise that's in your head
We can't compete with all that
So what if it's us, what if it's us
And only us?
And what came before, won't count anymore, or matter
Can try that?
What if it's you, what if it's me
What if that's all that we needed to be?
And the rest of the world falls away
What do you say?
I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me
So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go
But if you really see me
If you like me for me and nothing else
Well, that's all that I've wanted
For longer than you could possibly know
So it can be us, it can be us
And only us
And what came before, won't count anymore, or matter
We can try that
It's not so impossible
Nobody else but the two of us here
'Cause you're saying it's possible
We can just watch the whole world disappear
'Til you're the only one I still know how to see
It's just you and me
It'll be us, it'll be us and only us
And what came before won't count anymore
We can try that, you and me
That's all that we needed to be
And the rest of the world falls away
And the rest of the world falls away
The world falls away, the world falls away
And it's only us

FINNEAS - A Little Closer
Spent so many seasons lost inside my mind
Lost inside my mind
Like a message in a bottle
I thought nobody would find
That nobody would find
I've been drifting, I've been dreaming
I would land upon the shore
To a haven, to a harbor
That felt so far before
Well, today, today
What felt so far away feels a little closer
For today, today, today
Feels a little closer
How long these days and darkness
At the bottom of a well?
That old familiar well
Sittin' heavy with these secrets
With nobody to tell, nobody to tell
High above the streak of sunlight
And a wall too tall to climb
All the reaching, all the wanting
Just to tumble every time
But today, today
What felt so far away feels a little closer
For today, today, today
It feels a little closer
And the days carry on
The clouds come rolling in and then they're gone
As the days keep coming on
The midnight sky turns to dawn
Today, today
What felt so far away feels a little closer
For today, today, today
It feels a little closer
A little closer
It feels a little closer
A little closer
It feels a little closer
Lost inside my mind
Like a message in a bottle
I thought nobody would find
That nobody would find
I've been drifting, I've been dreaming
I would land upon the shore
To a haven, to a harbor
That felt so far before
Well, today, today
What felt so far away feels a little closer
For today, today, today
Feels a little closer
How long these days and darkness
At the bottom of a well?
That old familiar well
Sittin' heavy with these secrets
With nobody to tell, nobody to tell
High above the streak of sunlight
And a wall too tall to climb
All the reaching, all the wanting
Just to tumble every time
But today, today
What felt so far away feels a little closer
For today, today, today
It feels a little closer
And the days carry on
The clouds come rolling in and then they're gone
As the days keep coming on
The midnight sky turns to dawn
Today, today
What felt so far away feels a little closer
For today, today, today
It feels a little closer
A little closer
It feels a little closer
A little closer
It feels a little closer

Tori Kelly - Waving Through a Window
I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slippin' up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound, will I ever make a sound?
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window, oh
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
Oh, is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slippin' up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
