FRANKIE:
And don’t be
Surprised
If I love you
For all that
You are

STEVE/PHOENIX:
And don’t be
Surprised
If I love you

FRANKIE/STEVE/PHOENIX/MARY JANE:

I couldn’t / Help it / It’s all / Your fault

Mary Jane and Steve leave in separate directions.

Frankie and Phoenix continue singing at the park and, during the song, transition to Frankie’s bedroom where they fall into bed together.

PHOENIX: Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole / You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for / That’s not lip service

FRANKIE: You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met

PHOENIX: Let’s be best friends / Best friends with benefits / What took me so long

FRANKIE: I’ve never felt this healthy before / I’ve never wanted something rational² / I am aware now
