@mccklynaive gets a starter.

do you have everything you need for your trip?

how have you been since i last saw you?

while you're doing that, why don't you fill me in?

you're the only person that cares to ask how i am.

when's the last time you slept?

i won't tell a soul if you tell me what happened.

i just want to make sure you're okay.

i haven't spoken to you in quite some time.

could you give me a rundown of what happened?

i'd like to know what's going on.

what am i walking into?

ROAD TO HELL

‘ don’t ask where. ’ ‘ it was the road to hell. ’ ‘ it was hard times.’ ‘ it was a world of gods and men. ’ ‘ it’s an old song. ’ ‘ it’s an old tale from way back when. ’ ‘ they’re always singing in the back of your mind. ’ ‘ someone’s got to tell the tale, whether or not it turns out well. ’ ‘ maybe it‘ll turn out this time. ’ ‘ it’s a tragedy. ’ ‘ come on in from the cold. ’ ‘ it’s a love song. ’ ‘ it’s a tale of a love from long ago. ’

ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS    

‘ i was a hungry young girl. a runaway from everywhere i’d ever been. ’ ‘ you’re no stranger to the world. no stranger to the wind. ’ ‘ the weather ain’t the way it was before. ’ ‘ ain’t no spring or fall at all anymore. it’s either blazing hot, or freezing cold. ’ ‘ there ain’t a thing that you can do when the weather takes a turn on you. ’ ‘ do you hear that sound? ’ ‘ ain’t nobody gonna stick around. ’ ‘ got a match? ’ ‘ people turn on you just like the wind. everybody is a fair-weather friend. ’ ‘ when you’re hungry & there ain’t enough to go around, ain’t no length to which a girl won’t go. ’ ‘ you know how those muses are. sometimes they abandon you. ’ ‘ you have a way with words. ’ ‘ you sing just like a bird up on a line. ’

COME HOME WITH ME

‘ come home with me. ’ ‘ who are you? ’ ‘ i’m the man who’s gonna marry you. ’ ‘ your name is like a melody. ’ ‘ i’ve met too many men like you. ’ ‘ i’m not like that. ’ ‘ i’m working on a song. it isn’t finished yet, but when it’s done, and when i sing it, spring will come again. ’ ‘ a song so beautiful it brings the world back into tune, back into time. ’ ‘ all the flowers will bloom when you become my wife. ’

WEDDING SONG

‘ lover, tell me, if you can, who’s gonna buy the wedding bands? times being what they are, hard and getting harder all the time. ’ ‘ when i sing my song, all the rivers’ll sing along. ’ ‘ who’s gonna lay the wedding table? ’ ‘ you wanna take me home? ’

EPIC I

‘ where’d you get that melody? ’ ‘ it came to me as if i’d known it all along. ’ ‘ remember how it used to be? ’ ‘ but i fell in love with a beautiful lady. ’ ‘ i love you, and the kingdom we shared. ’ ‘ but without me above, not one flower would grow. ’

LIVIN’ IT UP ON TOP

‘ you’re never early, always late. ’ ‘ well, it’s like you said, i’m an outdoor girl. ’ ‘ are you wondering where i’ve been? i’ve been to hell and back again. ’ ‘ if you ain’t six feet underground, you’re living it up on top. ’ ‘ you take what you can get, and you make the most of it. ’ ‘ to the world we dream about, and the one we live in now. ’

ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN

‘ you make me see how the world could be in spite of the way that it is. ’ ‘ when i fell, i fell in spite of myself. ’ ‘ i was alone so long, i didn’t even know that i was lonely. ’ ‘ i didn’t even know that i was cold. ’ ‘ this is how it’s always been. ’ ‘ all i’ve ever known is how to hold my own. ’ ‘ all i’ve ever known is how to hold my own, but now i want to hold you too. ’ ‘ you take me in your arms, and suddenly there’s sunlight all around me. ’ ‘ everything’s bright, and warm, and shining like it never did before. ’ ‘ for a moment, i forgot just how dark and cold it gets. ’ ‘ i don’t ever want to have to let you go. ’ ‘ i don’t want to go back to the lonely life. ’ ‘ i don’t know how, or why, or who am i, that i should get to hold you? ’ ‘ when i saw you all alone against the sky, it was like i’d known you all along. ’ ‘ i knew you before we met, and i don’t even know you yet. ’ ‘ all i know is that you’re someone that i’ve always known. ’ ‘ i’m holding the world in my arms. ’ ‘ say that you’ll hold me forever. say that the wind won’t change on us. say that we’ll stay with each other, and it’ll always be like this. ’ ‘ i’m gonna hold you forever. the wind won’t change on us. long as we stay with each other, then it will always be like this. ’

WAY DOWN HADESTOWN

‘ better go and get your suitcase packed. ’ ‘ guess it’s time to go. ’ ‘ did you ever wonder what it’s like on the underside? ’ ‘ everybody’s trying to get a ticket to go, but those who go? they don’t come back. ’ ‘ i hear that high and lonesome sound of my husband coming for to bring me home. ’ ‘ i’ll be bored to death. ’ ‘ give me morphine in a tin. give me a crate of the fruit of the vine. ’ ‘ you’re early. ’ ‘ i missed you. ’ ‘ seems like he owns everything. kinda makes you wonder how it feels. ’

A GATHERING STORM

‘ it’s not supposed to be like this. ’ ‘ this is how it is. ’ ‘ where are you going? ’ ‘ the wind is changing. there’s a storm coming on. ’ ‘ we need food. ’ ‘ do you hear me? ’

EPIC II

‘ my loneliness moves in me, cruel and black. ’ ‘ jealousy fuels me, and feeds me, and fills me, with doubt that you’ll never come—dread that you’ll never come—doubt that my lover will ever come back. ’ ‘ with a million hands, he builds a wall. ’

CHANT   

i've often wondered what it means to truly love someone. and then, i realized it's what i feel for you. it's a love that defies the limitations of the world, that remains steadfast even in the face of chaos.

even if the world lost its color, if hope faded into the night, my love for you wouldn't falter.

i don't think romance is real. i think love is real, but not romance.

romance fades. love is a different thing.

you are so lucky you weren't scheduled today.

hey, are you good?

did you get it back?

it's gone! i dropped it down a fucking drain. of all days...

today's been awful.

i'll see you at eight?

i can meet you early if you want. you don't have to be alone just to secure the spot.

don't come back here complaining.

for a very long time, i've tried to find the best way to tell you that you're the only person i've ever met with the same sense of humor as me.

okay, right off the bat, way too strong.

my feelings are strong.

i know i'm not gonna stop you.

dude, i love trivia night. it's all i have. i wake up every wednesday rock-hard thinking about trivia night.

you gotta take her somewhere else. you have to be clear about your intentions.

if she means this much to you, and i know she does, do it right.

are you serious?

you definitely didn't say fuck.

how do you know about the gun?

how many gunfights have you been in, [name]?

stop being an ass.

didn't you say you have a crazy story?

i'm saying no to being around bad, drunk singers when i just want to go home and sleep.

who's gonna sing salt-n-pepa with me?

don't let me forget, i got you something.

i might quit. i'm just not happy there.

i feel like i need to make a big change. i'm not feeling... love. i need my head in the right place to bring this to life.

i wanna write. the good, the bad, the ugly. real shit.

is that stupid?

is that all that's been bothering you?

you always go out of your way for me, and not just me, for everyone...

you said you had something for me?

why don't you come inside, and we can have a few drinks?

i know what you're trying to do.

i have never seen you act this way.

it's not your fault.

can we go, please?

i just can't sleep in my bed. i don't want to be alone.

it smells like you.

i'm sorry i was so weird earlier.

will you sleep with me?

please, i get in my head. i'll stare at the ceiling all night if i'm in here by myself.

given the circumstances... i needed this.

you kissed me!

can you lay with me?

what the fuck happened last night?

you wouldn't believe what a crazy night i had.

i seriously think she needs help.

i slept on the floor. she was freaking me out.

how am i supposed to get home then?

i want to be transparent with you abuout some things.

i know you like me, [name].

i've known you for so long, and i'm just now realizing i don't even know that much about you.

why are you giving it to me?

i love you so much. i don't think i could live without you.

i thought we were having a nice date?

you're cute when you sleep.

make a deal with me.

i am the happiest i've probably ever been.

i was waiting for you to come home.

i can get dressed and go with you.

no one on this earth will ever comprehend what it feels like to love someone as much as i love you.

can i stand outside?

do you like me?

can you tell me you love me?

i can be anything you want me to be.

i love you in every reality.

let's fuck, [name].

you wanted this, but i'm so glad you did.

you made a shitty wish, and you want to reverse it.

what the fuck is wrong with you?

i wish for a billion dollars.

why don't you love me?

you owe me that.

we can make this work baby.
