No One Else Is Singing My Song

(album: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season 4) - 2019)

[REBECCA:]
Do you ever feel so alone
That if you were to pick up the phone
No one else would be on the other end?

[NATHANIEL:]
Have you ever been far from home
So scared you had to roam
And now you're beaten and tired with no one to call a friend?
(He doesn't count.)

[JOSH:]
You tried your best to make a change
But people just think you're strange
And you feel like

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH:]
No one else is singing my song
No one knows the rhythm enough to sing along
If only someone could see
In three-part harmony

[REBECCA:]
How alone

[NATHANIEL:]
How alone

[JOSH:]
How alone

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH:]
Only I am

[NATHANIEL:]
It's late and getting colder

[JOSH:]
You're only getting older

[REBECCA:]
And you're next to someone who is fast asleep

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL:]
That's so specific

[JOSH:]
Does anyone understand?

[NATHANIEL:]
Would anyone understand?

[REBECCA:]
Could anyone understand?

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH:]
Of course not, because
No one else is singing my song
No one knows the rhythm enough to sing along
When the core of your problem is a
Complicated melisma
No one gets

[NATHANIEL:]
How alone

[REBECCA:]
How alone

[JOSH:]
How alone

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH:]
Only I am

[REBECCA:]
But maybe while I'm singing my song

[JOSH:]
Someone else is singing along

[REBECCA:]
About a third higher, and they echo at a different moment

[NATHANIEL:]
Moment!

[REBECCA:]
How beautiful it would be

[NATHANIEL:]
If it was the entire company

[JOSH:]
But that's impossible

[DARRYL:]
Impossible

[PAULA:]
Impossible

[HEATHER AND VALENCIA:]
Impossible

[HECTOR:]
Impossible

[GROCERY CLERK WITH HALF AN EYELID:]
Or is it?

[ALL:]
Of course not
No one else is singing my song

[GROCERY CLERK WITH HALF AN EYELID:]
We're out of paper bags

[ALL:]
I mean, duh, no one knows the ever-changing rhythm
Enough to sing along
If only someone could see
In 11-part harmony
Or maybe just unison

[REBECCA:]
It's logistically impossible

[JOSH:]
I am super unique

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH:]
Hold out my lonely hands

[OTHERS:]
Ah!

[NATHANIEL:]
Oh, hi, guys!

[JOSH:]
Hey

[REBECCA:]
Only I am
