jenn colella & shaina taub - she and i lyrics

[carrie]
miss paul

[alice]
mrs. catt

[carrie]
it’s been a while

[alice]
four years

[carrie & alice]
i could just die after all this time
she and i in the same state
with nothing left to do but wait

[carrie]
this is the dress i’ve been planning to wear if we win

[alice]
and plan to put it on before results are in
bold

[carrie]
i only took it out to iron it
so it appears you mean to burn that old suffragist flag if we lose?
[alice]
no, we sew a new star on this flag for each state we beat
tennessee would make it complete

[carrie]
and you’ve already sewn it on, i bet

[alice, spoken]
not yet

[carrie & alice]
should i curse or cry after all this time?
she and i in the same state
with nothing left to do but wait

[carrie]
i hope you realize if we lose
it will be due to the backing you cost us
by picketing the president during the war

[alice]
i hope you realize if we win
it will be despite the power you lost us
by bowing to the president during the war

[carrie]
i made allies
[alice]
i took action

[carrie]
who cares who gets the credit or the blame?
what matters is the work gets done

[alice]
says the woman who has started writing suffrage memoirs
when we haven’t even won

[carrie & alice]
no, no, no
she hasn’t changed
she hasn’t changed at all
she’ll never know
should i just go?

[alice]
i know you think i’m this arrogant kid
but i’ve just always known it’s my calling to see this movement through
and i can’t stop moving ’til i do

[carrie]
this girl
carrie, you were this girl
when you first arrived as a fiery young leader+to+be
raging at elders and raring to go
then when susan said you were off track
you played by her rules as you have ever since
but alice never held back
so isn’t it wild?
after all this time
i feel like a parent made to reprimand my child
but who is rather pleased to have her do what i always wanted to
rebel daughter and careful mother
maybe she and i always needed each other
[carrie, spoken]
alice
i…
i…

[alice, spoken]
what?

[carrie, spoken]
i’ll see you down at the state house then
