Only Us - Ben Platt, Laura Dreyfuss

I don’t need you to sell me on reasons to want you

I don’t need you to search for the proof that I should

You don’t have to convince me

You don’t have to be scared you’re not enough

'Cause what we’ve got going is good

I don’t need more reminders of all that’s been broken

I don’t need you to fix what I’d rather forget

Clear the slate and start over

Try to quiet the noises in your head

We can’t compete with all that

So what if it’s us?

What if it’s us

And only us

And what came before won’t count anymore or matter?

Can we try that?

What if it’s you

And what if it’s me

And what if that’s all that we need it to be

And the rest of the world falls away?

What do you say?

I never thought there’d be someone like you who would want me

Well…

So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go

But if you really see me

If you like me for me and nothing else

Well, that’s all that I’ve wanted for longer than you could possibly know

So it can be us

It can be us

And only us

And what came before won’t count anymore or matter

We can try that

It’s not so impossible

Nobody else but the two of us here

'Cause you’re saying it’s possible

We can just watch the whole world disappear

'Til you’re the only one

I still know how to see

It’s just you and me

It’ll be us

It’ll be us

And only us

And what came before won’t count anymore

We can try that

You and me

That’s all that we need it to be

And the rest of the world falls away

And the rest of the world falls away

The world falls away

The world falls away

And it’s only us
