[00:08.529] I was the girl in the bubble at school
[00:13.257] Behind my own personal wall for protection
[00:17.123] I’d sit there alone like a fool
[00:21.120] I never was able to make a connection
[00:25.012] Then one day I tried out for the play
[00:28.852] I’ll never forget it
[00:30.811] A flea in her ear
[00:32.823] And I was suddenly someone with something to say
[00:36.689] Making a sound everybody could hear
[00:40.555] And suddenly everything makes some sense
[00:44.526] Then I saw this guy in the audience
[00:48.444] And there was John
[00:51.396] Fifth row on the aisle
[00:52.963] With a big smile on
[00:56.307] And after the show he came backstage
[01:01.270] And now that this birdie was out of her cage
[01:05.894] Well, everything was okay
[01:11.327] We date for a year, then we’re cohabitating
[01:15.376] Then I get a big chance to take the next step
[01:19.869] Away from a job I was hating
[01:23.762] And into a slot in the regional rep
[01:27.262] In rehearsal all day after day after day
[01:31.624] Creating and playing in play after play
[01:35.569] And night after night, igniting the spark
[01:39.461] Connecting with all of those folk in the dark
[01:45.365] And John was there
[01:48.421] There with a smile and his hands in the air
[01:53.280] Clapping for me and back home we’d go
[01:58.243] Happy together for eight or nine hours or so
[02:02.971] And everything was okay
[02:07.020] And then I’d be gone again
[02:10.860] This life takes everything you give it
[02:14.674] Like a puppy or a kid
[02:17.600] But if you really love it, you live it
[02:21.466] And that’s what I did
[02:25.306] Played Carousel on the road for the winter
[02:29.747] From April to June, I toured Cabaret
[02:32.882] Then Mother Courage in stock in New England all summer
[02:37.636] And John tried to call almost every day
[02:41.606] He told me he wanted some kids and a wife
[02:45.446] And that’s when I realized
[02:47.667] This is my life
[02:49.522] I’d made my choice but I never expressed it
[02:53.492] And when I got home
[02:54.929] Can you guess?
[02:56.183] Yeah, I guessed it
[02:58.142] John was gone
[03:01.355] Everything on the left of the closet was gone
[03:06.083] His electric guitar, and his amp, and his car were gone
[03:11.856] Just “poof”
[03:13.006] There I was standing under a roof alone
[03:17.708] And yes, my heart was almost broken
[03:21.783] But I’d made my choice and I’d make it again
[03:25.544] And now, where’s John?
[03:28.784] I think Portland, Maine or maybe it’s Oregon
[03:33.251] With a kid and a wife
[03:34.870] And here is me
[03:38.449] Another dressing room number one thousand and three
[03:43.438] Exactly where I should be
[03:47.409] Exactly where we should be
[03:51.380] And everything’s okay
