See Me - Cast Recording

Peter!

Honey, I was just gonna call you

There’s something that you need to know

Gone a week, I miss you already

I’m just gonna spit it out

How are rehearsals going?

You probably guessed it years ago

Still it’s kinda hard to say

Peter, we’re so excited about the play!

It’s something that I’ve spent so long not saying

I called your father;

he swore he’d be there

Sometimes it’s on the tip on my tongue

But only spoken aloud, alone while I’m praying

I’d like to tape it but honestly Peter, I’m not gonna be one of those parents

All I ask is an open mind

Peter, perhaps now isn’t the best time…

It’s such a lonely bridge to cross

I’m taking Nana to lunch

I search for answers on my own

She’s so proud of you, Peter

And find that I’m completely lost

(spoken)

Mom, please don’t say anything else.

Just listen.

I don’t know where to start.

God, I can’t get the words out;

It’s like they’re all jumbled together.

Mom, I love you and—

Berkley took their wait list

When they called I almost died

Would you really go to Berkley?

I didn’t know that you’d applied…

Mom, please listen to me…

Where did Notre Dame go?

I didn’t know that you withdrew

People will be disappointed

Have you really thought this through?

Mom, this is important

Mom, you need to listen

Please don’t shut me out here

Mom, you need to see me

Peter, please I’m so busy here;

Let me call you later dear

God this is so hard to say

I’m so afraid you’ll turn away

Mom, I’m—

Peter, please, I need a break

Whatever it is we’ll have to wait

I’m going to hang up now

I really need to hang up now

Don’t hang up, this took such courage

I’m dying here, I’m all alone

I know you know you know what I’m saying

Just let me tell you:

Mom, I’m—

Peter, please, I can’t solve all your problems

Mother you know nothing of them

And I’m not expecting you to find solutions

Just be my Mom and my friend

See me…

I assure you I’m in no state of mind to discuss anything right now

I’ve been waiting to tell you this since I was twelve

Peter, I’m going to go now

You don’t want to hear it

You don’t want to see me

Can’t bear to see me

Peter you tend to dramatize

There’s a reason for that mother:

Open your eyes…

Peter, please, I have to go now

I really need to go right now

I’ll call you

When mom, when are you going to call?

Soon, Peter, this week, this weekend…

We can work this out together!

Maybe before then you’ll work whatever this is out…

This is always on my mind

I have so much on my mind

Please don’t hang up…

I have to go

Please, see me
