[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
