Lucas, which one is it?
What's her favourite song?
-Which one? -It's right here! I got it!
-Give it to me! -Go, go, go!
-OK, headphones! -Now!
And if I only could…
Max!
Max, wake up.
Max, wake up!
Max, we're right here!
-Come on, Max. -They can't help you, Max.
There's a reason
you hide from them.
You…
belong here,
with me.
You're not really here.
Oh, but I am,
Max.
I am.
It's you and me
Won't be unhappy
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him To swap our places
Max!
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Max!
I don't want a letter.
We're right here.
I'm right here.
Come on, darling
Let me steal this moment From you now
Come on, baby Come on, darling
Let me steal this moment From you now
Come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange The experience
Max!
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him To swap our places
Max!
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
No problems
Max!
…make a deal with God
And get him to swap Our places...
Max!
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Max! Max!
Max! Max!
Max! Oh, my God!
It's OK, it's OK.
It's OK.
I thought we lost you.
I'm still… I'm still here.
Oh, shit.
I'm still here.
