Let's set the scene
It's fall play season
Actors flood the hall
Through audition drama
Vocal running
Our two names are called!
Upon meeting you
I knew
I'd win the part
But lose my cool
So they cast us as the lovebirds
And my heart, alas, the fool
It's a no chance showmance
I don't mix work with pleasure
You sway my stance
It's unprofessional
I know that we can't
But I'm drawn to your trance
"Places in five"
Tickets to my demise
I'm passionately panicking
Falling or I'm fangirling
Why?
Why must we read these lines?
Admiring you is amateur
Call me out of character
We're backstage for a quick change
And I catch you sneak a glimpse
There's no cameras, no cast around
Our faces dimly lit
I won't make a move
I'll claim I'm clueless
When our friends make jokes
But I swear you playing with my hair's not
What the author wrote
It's a no chance showmance
But as our bodies breathe
Together in the final dance
Audience evanesces
Reason be dammed
You're not far from my man
"Back on in five"
Tickets to our demise
I'm passionately panicking
Falling or I'm fangirling
Why?
Why do I mean these lines?
Admiring you is amateur
Call me out of character
Am I the Éponine
Or Lara Jean
I need a script for you and me
I want the lead
The harmony to your story
Re-write the plot
Give me the spotlight
A monologue
Before the curtains fall
I was never acting at all
I was never acting at all
I can't pretend to pretend
You're all that I want
'Cause I was never acting at all
