The Last 5 Years movie - A Miracle Would Happen/When You Come Home to Me lyrics
rate me<br>
JAMIE<br>
Everyone tells you that the minute you get married<br>
Every other woman in the world<br>
Suddenly finds you attractive<br>
Well, that's not true<br>
It only affects the kind of women<br>
You always wanted to sleeep with<br>
But they wouldn't give you the time of day before<br>
And now they're banging down your door<br>
And falling to their knees<br>
At least that's what it feels like because you<br>
Can<br>
Not<br>
Touch<br>
Them<br>
In fact, you can't even look at them<br>
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes<br>
Except you're sitting there<br>
Eating your corned beef sandwich<br>
And all of a sudden, this pair of breasts walks by<br>
And smiles at you<br>
And you're like "That's not fair!"<br>
<br>
And in a perfect world<br>
A miracle would happen<br>
And every other girl would fly away<br>
And it'd be me and Cathy,<br>
And nothing else would matter<br>
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine<br>
I mean, I'm happy<br>
And I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine<br>
It's not a problem<br>
It's just a challenge<br>
It's a challenge to resist<br>
Temptation<br>
<br>
And I have to say that<br>
What exacerbates the problem<br>
Is I'm at these parties<br>
I'm the center of attention<br>
I'm the grand fromage<br>
And here she comes:<br>
"Let's get a cup of coffee.<br>
Will you look at my manuscript?"<br>
And I'm showing her my left hand<br>
I'm gesticulating with my left hand<br>
And then WHOOMP! There's Cathy!<br>
'Cause she knows<br>
(They always know)<br>
And there's that really awkward moment<br>
Where I try to show I wasn't encouraging this<br>
(Though of course I sort of was)<br>
And I don't want to look whipped in front of this woman<br>
Which is dumb - I shouldn't care what she thinks<br>
Since I can't fuck her anyway!<br>
<br>
And in a perfect world<br>
A miracle would happen<br>
And every girl would look like Mister Ed<br>
And it'd be me and Cathy<br>
And nothing else would matter<br>
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine<br>
You know I love her<br>
And it's fine, it's fine, it's fine<br>
It's what I wanted<br>
And I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!<br>
It's not a problem<br>
It's just a challenge<br>
It's a challenge to resist<br>
Temptation<br>
<br>
CATHERINE<br>
When you come home to me<br>
I'll wear a sweeter smile<br>
And hope that, for a while, you'll stay<br>
When you come home to me<br>
Your hand will touch my face<br>
And banish any trace of gray<br>
Soon, a love will rise anew<br>
Even greater than the joy I felt<br>
Just missing you<br>
And once again, I'll be<br>
So proud to call you "mine"<br>
When you finally come home<br>
To me<br>
<br>
JAMIE<br>
I'll be there soon, Cathy<br>
I'll finish up this chapter and be out the door<br>
I swear I'll be there soon, Cathy<br>
Don't give up on me yet<br>
I am so proud of you, baby<br>
You're doing what you never got to do before<br>
And I will be there, ripe and crawling<br>
If fuckin' Random House stops calling<br>
Don't lose faith<br>
Don't get down<br>
Don't despair<br>
I'll be there<br>
<br>
And in a perfect world<br>
A miracle would happen<br>
And that day would finally be here<br>
And it'd be me and you<br>
Riding it together<br>
And the things we do<br>
Goin' like we planned<br>
We're gonna make it through<br>
And nothing else will matter<br>
We'll be fine, we're fine<br>
We're fine, we're fine, we're fine<br>
I'll be there soon, Cathy...<br>
I swear I will<br>
<br>
