VERONICA
Fine!
We’re “damaged”
Really “damaged”
But that does not make us “wise”
We’re not “special”, we’re not “different”
We don’t choose who lives or dies
Let’s be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch TV
We’ll bake brownies or go bowling
Don’t you want a life with me?
Can’t we be seventeen?
That’s all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us
J.D.
Or they vanish
VERONICA
And you’re right, that really blows
But we let go—
J.D.
Take a deep breath
VERONICA
Then go buy some summer clothes
We'll go camping—
J.D.
Play some poker
VERONICA
And we’ll eat some chili fries
Maybe prom night
J.D.
Maybe dancing
VERONICA
Don't stop looking in my eyes
J.D.
Your eyes
BOTH
Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right
VERONICA
So what’s it gonna be?
I wanna be with you
J.D.
I wanna be with you
VERONICA
Wanna be with you
BOTH
Tonight
VERONICA
Yeah we’re damaged
J.D.
Badly damaged
BOTH
But your love’s too good to lose
VERONICA
Hold me tighter
J.D.
Even closer
VERONICA
I’ll stay if I’m what you choose
J.D.
Can we be seventeen?
VERONICA
If I am what you choose
J.D.
If we've still got the right
VERONICA
‘Cause you’re the one I choose
J.D.
You’re the one I choose
BOTH
You’re the one I choose
