Lyrics
When the world is breaking down around you

Taking everything that you know

What you didn't know

Is that we can go forever if we want to

We can live inside of a moment

The one that we own



You and me, we got this

You and me, we're beautiful, beautiful



We all, we all are going to be alright

We got, we got we always got the fight in us

We all, we all are gonna live tonight

Like there's no tomorrow

'Cause we're the afterlife



Living like you're dying isn't living at all

Give me your cold hands

Put them on my heart

Raise a glass to everyone

Who thinks they'll never make it through this life

To live a brand new start



You and me, we got this

You and me, we're beautiful, beautiful



(chorus)



Every time I close my eyes

I hear your favorite song

Telling me not run

Not to worry anymore

I can hold on tight to nothing

Better than the rest

So it's now

Or never more



(chorus)

(chorus)

(chorus)

Comments

[sanguinity]

This comment came in before your comment on the other vid (I made both the Middleman vids), and I was all, "...Oh dear, I hope she knows that there's a whole lot of ridonk mixed in with the rest, because it might be a bit of a surprise, if she thinks this is the only thing the show looks like."

And then your other comment arrived, and I was all, "Oh, good! She knows!" Hee.

It is a lovely show, with a very big and very sincere heart. And also a LOT of ridonkulousness. I think episodes 2-4 are a little weak (not terrible! just not quite yet everything it would become!), but by the time you get to episode 5 (ART CRAWL! o/ ), it's nothing but delight until the day they stopped filming. (Which is when things get why-was-this-cancelled sad, but there is a table-read of the final, never-filmed ep, and then a cast-reunion table read of a new episode, and that's a LOT more than many fandoms get.)

Wendy and Lacey DO love each other a lot -- I could not pack in all of how much they love each other! -- and I'm glad that their adorableness came through so well for you, even not knowing the show. :-)
