No One Else Is Singing My Song
(Verse)
[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

(Chorus)
[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
