Finale
Me And Juliet Lyrics

Christmas bells are ringing
The holiday season has arrived

How time flies
Time passes quickly and unexpectedly

When compassion dies
Lack of empathy and care can lead to negative consequences

No stocking, no candy canes
There is nothing to celebrate the holiday with

No gingerbread, no safety net
Feeling vulnerable and unsupported

No loose change, no change, no
Lack of resources and financial stability

Santa Claus is coming
The hope of receiving a gift or a miracle

'Cause Santa Claus ain't coming
That hope might be in vain

No room at the Holiday Inn again
Nowhere to go for the holidays

Well, maybe next year or when
Hope for better circumstances in the future

December twenty-fourth, ten p.m.
The night before Christmas

Eastern standard time
The time zone of their location

I can't believe a year went by so fast
Time seems to have flown by quickly

Time to see, what we have time to see
To seize the moment and enjoy what is left

Turn the projector on first shot roger
Starting the presentation

With the fender guitar he just got out of hock
Roger's guitar that has been pawned and repossessed

When he sold the car
How he lost his prized possession

That took him away and back
The car that acted as a symbol of his aspirations

I found my song
A moment of creative inspiration

He found his song
Roger also feels inspired and accomplished

If he could just find Mimi
Roger's love interest who is missing

I tried you know I tried
His attempts to locate her are mentioned

Fade in on mark
Transition to the next scene with the singer Mark

Who's still in the dark
Mark's uncertainty and confusion

But he's got great footage
Mark's work as a videographer

Which he's cut together
His skills in editing

To screen tonight
The presentation of his work

In honor of Benny's wife
A tribute to someone important who has passed away

Muffy, Alison
The name of her friend and partner Benny's wife

Pulling Benny out of the east village location
The kind of lifestyle the characters have, living in the East Village in NYC

Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight
The possibility that the presentation might not happen

I wonder how Alison found out about Mimi?
Raising a question about Mimi's whereabouts and their friends

Maybe a bird told her or an angel
A whimsical explanation

I had a little hunch you could use, a little 'flow
Mark's intuition about what could be happening with Mimi

Tutoring again? Negative
A response to someone else's question or inquiry

Back at you? No, no you, no
Another exchange between characters

I rewired the ATM at the food emporium
Collins' resourcefulness and problem-solving skills

To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code
A clever way of redistributing wealth

The code, well
Collins revealing the passcode

A N G E L
The code word

Yet robin hooding isn't the solution
The moral dilemma around taking from others to give to those in need

The powers that be must be undermined
Rebelling against an oppressive system of authority and control

Where they dwell in a small exclusive
Their wealthy status and place in society

Gourmet institution
The kind of exclusive places they go to

Where we overcharge the wealthy, clientèle
The irony of making profits from those they are rebelling against

Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
New ideas and possibilities for the future

With a private corner banquette in the back
A detail of the new restaurant they imagine

We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe
The optimistic outlook for the future despite current struggles

But you'd miss New York before you could unpack
The love and nostalgia for their current home and community

Mark, Roger, anyone? Help
Asking for assistance with a situation

Maureen?
A call for the character Maureen

It's Mimi, I can't get her up the stairs
The crisis around lifting and helping Mimi up

No, she was huddled in the park in the dark
The discovery of Mimi's location

And she was freezing and begged to come here
The urgency of shelter and warmth

Over here, oh, god
The characters' reaction to the dire state of Mimi

Got a light, I know you, you're shivering
Attempts to find a lighter or a source of warmth

She's been living on the street
The harsh reality of homelessness

We need some heat
The urgency of finding warmth

I'm shivering
One character's own vulnerability and discomfort

We can buy some wood and something to eat
The practical steps to help Mimi

I'm afraid she needs more than heat
The realization that Mimi needs more extensive help

I heard that
Acknowledging the seriousness of the situation

Collins will call for a doctor, honey
One character knows what to do

Don't waste your money on mimi, me, me
The confrontation around how to handle Mimi's situation

Hello-911? I'm on hold
Attempts to call for emergency help

Cold, cold, would you light my candle
Mimi's request for warmth and help

Yes, we'll, oh God, find a candle
The urgency of finding a solution to help Mimi

I should tell you
A moment of honesty and vulnerability

Benny wasn't any
Revelation about someone

Shh, I know
Acknowledgment and understanding

I should tell you why I left
Continuing the confession

It wasn't, 'cause I didn't
Reassurance that there was love but other factors at play

I know, I should tell you
The continuation of the confession

I should tell you
The urgency of sharing the truth

I should tell you
The final admission of love

Who do you think you are?
The frustration and anger towards someone

Leaving me alone with my guitar
The feeling of abandonment and loneliness

Hold on there's something you
Interrupting the tension and emotion of the previous lines

Should here
A cryptic message or revelation

It isn't much but it took all year
The significance of what is about to be shared
