Cast recording - Are You There lyrics

MATT Do you know, well, of course you do What it's like to stand outside? To watch the world and wish you didn't Hurt so much, you cried I know I'm not the only one And I know I shouldn't care But I feel these things are real I wish I felt you there And if I did, I'd ask you: How come life is so unfair? PETER Do you know-well, of course you do What it's like to be afraid That nothing will become of all The plans that you have made? So I watch the girls surround him And he says that's just a game I guess that I believe him But it hurts me just the same And I'm all about this stupid act So who am I to blame? MATT & PETER Are you there? Are you there? Do you watch me when I cry? And if it's in your power How can you sit idly by? I try so hard to please you But you never seem to see MATT Is it my fate to sit and wait? PETER Wonder what my struggle means? MATT I wish I knew that someone out there cared PETER Are you there? MATT & PETER Cared for me MATT Who's out there? PETER Matt? MATT Yeah! Are you alright? PETER I'm fine MATT Here, have some wine PETER This is holy wine MATT The Father hasn't blessed it yet PETER In that case... MATT Grab a chalice PETER Thanks Life s**s... MATT Here, have the rest So why'd you leave? PETER The party? MATT Yeah PETER I was getting kind of bored MATT Me too PETER There's another reason... MATT Yeah? PETER It s**s to be ignored MATT I know I always fight to do what's right And this is my reward... PETER This is my reward MATT & PETER Are you there? Are you there? Can you make some time for me? They tell me that you're out there And they tell me that you see I try to find the meaning, God You know how hard I've tried But I don't know where I'm going And I don't have any guide MATT They said things would get better But I guess they lied PETER Are you there? He needs to give me more MATT I'll drink to that PETER Who cares what people think? We're fine! We've been through this before One day he'll wake up And realize all he needs is me Until then, God, I wish I knew I need a guarantee MATT I need to know for sure that you'll be there PETER Send a sign so that I know you're there MATT & PETER There for me MATT Who's leading? PETER I don't know MATT Well, who usually leads? MATT Look, I'm going to bed. I'll catch you later, alright?
