Alyssa: Michael.
Mike: Yes?
Alyssa: I can spell your name now.
Mike: Why?
Alyssa: Cuz she’s dead.
Mike: Who?
Alyssa: Erin. The one who took Michael Jordan out of my head.
Mike: What’s this have to do with anything?
Alyssa: I don’t know, but for a split second I forgot how to spell your name, from the future or something, don’t worry about it.
Mike: Is this about the end?
Alyssa: I think so… I’m gonna marry you you know.
Mike: No you’re not.
Alyssa: Yes I am. I made you for me. That’s the word on the street.
Natalie: She heard it through the grapevine–and Juliette.
Alyssa: And Juliette.
I don’t know how
to break the spell
to defy the odds
that brought me hell
now if i were you
i’d run the other way
i’d speak of this to no one
i’d find another way
i’d speak about a future
that’s fake just to save the day
i’d find the will to stay
i’d make up what i’d say
i’d belong to the day
i’d tell the night to stay away–
i found you
before you were born
to make you from a storm
that we could be together
because i’m obsessed
with things like weather–
that made you.
Mike: are you saying you’re obsessed with me?
Alyssa: no, not necessarily.
i love the ground you walk on
and i think about how you sleep
Mike: what? You are obsessed with me.
Alyssa: Nope–just hold on, it get’s good
i love the ground you walk on
and i think about how you sleep
i wonder what’s been going on
and whether you’ve been counting sheep
i think about you all the time
i make out with my arm
there’s a hickey on it
Alyssa: we can’t tell him that one
Natalie: yeah we’re gonna tell him that one.
i love the ground you walk on
i collect it and put it in jars
i put hearts on those jars
to remind me of who you are
and who you used to be–
this person you see
is of great importance to me
i can say that because i’m me
i’m the queen
so am i obsessed?
let me get this off my chest.
you are not
alexander the great
you are not ever going to be a little bit late
you are not a wizard
but just on time
so the rest of them should get in line.
so hang on dear Michael
i had to tell you
before you heard from the grapevine
you’re gonna be revelations
like the book you wrote
as a gift for me
a long time ago
which is why i’m into it–
cuz this book is obsessed with me
and it makes me wet.
so i hope you don’t start to sweat
but you have to deal with it now.
that i love you
and i don’t know how
to quit you.
Alyssa: stop crying army, it’s okay.
Don’t turn the light off just yet.
