next thing you know (original cast recording) - stay lyrics

[waverly, spoken]
it’s just a job, right?

[lisa, spoken]
waverly, please

[waverly, spoken]
what?

[lisa]
it’s a sign, it’s time to move on
leave this old dive bar behind
it’s your chance, don’t wait ’til it’s gone
wake up and make up your mind
you’d have a job, you’d have a man
so this wasn’t part of your master plan
it’s your sign
and i’m waiting for mine
[waverly, spoken]
you’re living the dream, you’re performing

[lisa, spoken]
and what? at least you have darren to go home to

[waverly, spoken]
she’s out there, you’ll find her

[lisa]
that was always my plan
meet her here in new york then she’d whisk me away
we’d pack all our things and move to la

[waverly, spoken]
it’s gonna happen

[lisa]
maybe the reason i can’t find her anywhere
is cause she’s waiting for me to move out there

[waverly, spoken]
lisa, no

(sung)
this was the dream we had in college
talking, planning, in a bar you and i would both acknowledge
cause we each had each other, we both got this far
you think you need to leave to grow
but i’m begging you don’t go
i want it all to stay undecided
i want it all to stay unrealized
all i want is for it all to stay this way
you, me, us
stay
[lisa, spoken]
aren’t you tired of working two jobs? take this offer and settle down

[waverly]
this is what i thought starting at the start meant
striving, struggling, learning life with a guy in a small apartment
where you’re not just his girlfriend, but not yet his wife
one day you’ll walk down the aisle
but that day’s not for a while
i want it all to stay, tomorrow
i want it all to stay, pretend
i all i want is for it all stay this way
this, here, now
stay

[lisa, spoken]
waverly, do you want to be a thirty+something with twenty+something problems? what are you afraid of?

[waverly]
there’ll be lessons left unlearned
there’ll be stone i leave unturned

[lisa]
there are new dreams to pursue
your whole life’s in front of you
[waverly]
i’m already closing doors

[lisa]
the choice is here and now and yours
the only choice that you’ll regret, is making none at all

[waverly]
i’m not there yet
i want it all to stay, beginning

[lisa]
i need a sample similar a sign to obey

[both]
i want this life that i am living+

[lisa]
+to show me the way

[waverly]
+to stay, part of some impossible scheme

[lisa]
it’s a sign

[waverly]
stay

[lisa]
where’s mine

[waverly]
stay, stay, stay

[lisa]
i wish, i were you. cause it’s the answer, to+

[waverly]
stay, stay with me. and let it all stay+

[both]
a dream
