Are You There? lyrics
Soundtrack: Bare: A Pop Opera
MATT
Do you knowwell, of course you do
What its like to stand outside?
To watch the world and wish
You didnt hurt so much, you cried
I know Im not the only one
And I know I shouldnt care
But when I feel these things are real
I wish I felt you there
And if I did, Id ask you
How come life is so unfair?
PETER
Do you knowwell, of course you do
What its 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 its just a game
I guess that I believe him
But it hurts me just the same
And Im all about this stupid act
So who am I to blame?
BOTH
Are you there? Are you there?
Do you watch me when I cry?
And if its 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?
BOTH
Cared for me
MATT
Whos out there?
PETER
Matt?
MATT
Yeah!
Are you alright?
PETER
Im fine
MATT
Here, have some wine
PETER
This is holy wine!
MATT
The Father hasnt blessed it yet
PETER
In that case
MATT
Grab a chalice
PETER
Thanks.
Life sucks
MATT
Here, have the rest
So whyd you leave?
PETER
The party?
MATT
Yeah
PETER
I was getting kind of bored
MATT
[Laugh] Oh, me too!
PETER
Theres another reason
MATT
Yeah?
PETER
It sucks to be ignored
MATT
I know!
I always fight to do whats right, and this is my reward
PETER
This is my reward
BOTH
Are you there? Are you there?
Can you make some time for me?
They tell me that youre out there
And they tell me that you see
I try to find the meaning
God, you know how hard Ive tried
But I dont know where Im going
And I dont 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
Ill drink to that!
PETER
Who cares if people think were fine?
Weve been through this before!
One day hell 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 youll be there
PETER
Send a sign so that I know youre there
BOTH
There for me
PETER
Send a sign so that I know youre there
MATT
Send a sign so that I know youre there
BOTH
There for me
PETER
Whos leading?
MATT
Well, who usually leads?
[Peter whispers in Matt's ear that he and Jason are boyfriends]
MATT
Im going to bed
Catch you later, ok?
