Lyrics:
ALEX:
I KNOW THAT IT’S ONLY BEEN A MONTH
BUT I THINK THAT I’M IN LOVE
EV’RY TIME I SEE HER I GET BUTTERFLIES
THAT ONLY USED TO HAPPEN WHEN I WAS WITH GUYS
BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS THE TURNING POINT
IT’S THAT MOMENT WHEN THE WORLD PULLS BACK INTO JOINT
YES YOU MAY CALL IT FEAR, WHENEVER SHE’S STANDING NEAR
BUT I CALL IT LOVE
Sophie arrives. Michael has since left the pair and decided to be alone.
SOPHIE: Happy one month anniversary.
Sophie and Alex kiss. Then Sophie gives him a present.
ALEX: Oh you shouldn’t have.
SOPHIE: It was no trouble.
ALEX: No really, I haven’t got you anything.
SOPHIE: (suggestively) That’s alright, you can give me something later.
ALEX: (Unenthused) Great.
SOPHIE: Come round mine after school yeah?
ALEX: Sure.
Sophie leaves, Alex again is left alone.
ALEX:
WHY DO I NOT WANT HER AROUND
WHENEVER SHE IS AROUND?
IT NEVER USED TO BE LIKE THIS WITH MICHAEL IT’S TRUE
MAYBE IT’S A SIGN TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO
I CAN QUIT, I’M JUST SO FED UP OF IT
ALL THE SPENDING AND PRETENDING
THAT I WANT SOME TIT
CAN I HAVE MICHAEL INSTEAD?
AND ALL THINGS WILL WORK OUT FINE
I JUST CAN’T BE WITH A WOMAN
WHERE ALL SHE DOES IS WHINE
ALL THE FUCKING TIME
The set changes to Sophie’s bedroom, she’s sitting on her bed waiting for Alex to come round.
SOPHIE:
I’M NOT SURE THAT THIS RELATIONSHIP
HAS THE STRONGEST OF FOUNDATIONS
I ONLY GOT WITH HIM BECAUSE I COULDN’T HAVE THE OTHER
ALEX IS LIKE SOMEONE ELSES YOUNGER BROTHER THAT I
FUCK, BUT THE FUCKING ISN’T GOOD
HE CAN BARELY GET ERECT, IT’S A FLACID KIND OF WOOD
BUT MAYBE IT’S ALL ME, AM I NOT DOING IT RIGHT?
MAYBE IF I WAS WITH SOMEONE I ACTUALLY LIKED.
There’s a knock at the door.
SOPHIE: Come in.
Alex enters.
