Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You've tried the chicken factory?

I'm still having nightmares about those giblets.

We've tried beautician?

Turns out hot wax is not my friend

I'm running out of options for you Louisa.

Please I'll take anything.

Well this is new...care and companionship for a disabled man

Do you have any experience with caregiving?

Um I've never done it but I'm sure I could learn

Then lets go meet Will

Will, this is Louisa Clark.

Nathan will talk you through Will's routines and equipment

You don't have to talk across me mother. My brain isn't paralyzed...yet.

Good morning!

Urgh... he hates me

Everytime I speak he looks at me like I'm stupid

Well, to be fair, you are pretty stupid.

Yeah, but he doesn't know that yet.

Interesting choice of footwear.

What do you mean by that?

Well, they can't be from around here.

Why not?

This is the kind of place people come to when they've got tired of actually living

I'm happy here

Well, you shouldn't be. You only get one life. Its actually your duty to live it as fully as possible

No, stay

Tell me something good

When I was little, my favourite outfit was my bumblebee tights

Bumblebee tights?

Black and yellow stripes

Oh dear god

Didn't you ever love anything that much?

Yes

Please don't tell me you shaved off my eyebrows

Only the one

Can I take you somewhere?

You are so going on a date with Will Trainer

It's too booby

Get the red dress out

I don't want to go in yet. I just want to be a man who's been to a concert with a girl in a red dress, a few minutes more

I promised my parents 6 months and thats what I've given them

But that was before

Me

I want him to live but only if he wants to live

I can't just let this happen

You can't change who people are

Then what can you do?

You love them

I don't want you to miss all the things that someone else could give you

But I can make you happy

I have become a whole new person because of you

Do you know something Clark?

You are pretty much the only thing that makes me wanna get up in the morning
