No more looking back
Only facing forward
Watch as the horizon gets closer
Nothing can go wrong
If it takes us long to walk the mile
Years to run the distance
That's how long it takes, but we'll make it
Don't lose faith in me
'Cause this is our journey
One big adventure
Why stand and watch it pass by from the side?
It's time to get going
And yes there's no knowing
The dangers ahead
How can you fly with your feet on the floor
When what comes after is better than before?
It'll be fine, I promise. As long as you're sharing it with me
Can we please agree
That we walk the same direction?
Take a little comfort in moving ahead as one
Each and every bend in the road that we follow
Will lead us further, on and on
But I cannot do this alone
We made a promise to stick by each other
For once, thanks to you
There's no hilltop that's too big to climb
It's not the greatest area, is it?
It's on its way up! Come on, take a look at the flat
I know you're going to fall in love
I've spent thirty years drifting place to place
If something got hard then I'd quit to save face
Only me, drifting by all alone
I never had a father who called me each day
From foster home to foster home was always the way
But now I've ended here,
We're finally here
What do you think? Come on, be completely honest
Well
All right, not completely
I like that stain. It's very Marc Chagall
Oh come on, Chagall's brushwork is much more self-contained
And I now realize that the important thing is that there's a stain over there
I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's got four solid walls!
Don't lean on that one. I did and nearly went straight through
Three and a half solid walls, then, and a roof over our heads
I can smell gas!
That's not gas! It's mice!
Look beyond the cracks
Sure it isn't perfect
Nothing ever is, but believe me
Beauty can be found
Is that water coming in?
Only when it rains?
Take a look around, this place has charm
Just like you, it's quirky
Needs a little work, but I love it
Build a home with me
Ben, the carpet is the colour of sick
We can change the carpet
This place is a dump
Yes, but it's our dump!
I want a family
I want a future
I want to wake each day in your arms
Where no one will find us
Break or unbind us
I bet there are amazing floorboards under this carpet
And we can salvage furniture from the local tip!
What?
I'll learn wiring and plumbing
And this place will be just right
A home of our own full of
Joy and laughter!
You are the best part of me
You are the one thing I need in my life
All of these dreams
Fall apart at the seams
Without you
Why do I keep falling for this?
I don't know, but I am so glad that you do
Maybe what comes after is
Better than before
Better than before
Better than before
Better than before
After is better than
Before you leave and walk out the door
Take a moment and marvel at what we've achieved
No time!
Three long months of cleaning and scrubbing
Three long months of plaster and paint
Three long months of dust and debris in our hair
Now we're finally there
And it's better than perfect
Finally there
As I dreamt it would be
You, standing there, next to our new décor
Proves that what comes after is better than before
Well, except for the tap that won't stop dripping
Upstairs and their taste in music and the bastard who stole my bike
Shit! I'm going to be late!
Have a good day. Love you
Love you too
Three long months of being so tired
Three long months of asleep at my desk
Three long months of working all day and night
Something's not right
Yes, the flat is perfect
But something's not right with me
"Jonathan". Oh god. Not again. Don't answer it, Ami
But I have to! It will be bad and you'll regret it, you know you will
But i have to! I can't stop thinking about what he said
Why can't it all go away
And I can just think about ben instead?
I wish I could
I can't ignore it, I'll miss my chance.
Imagine never seeing him again, never holding him again
Jonathan. Hello. Yes, I'm sorry. No this isn't a bad time. So this is serious
