See Me Lyrics
See Me
CLAIRE [spoken]
Hello?
PETER
Mother I need to talk to you
CLAIRE [spoken]
Peter! Honey, I was just gonna call you
PETER
There?s something that you need to know
CLAIRE [spoken]
Gone a week, I miss you already
PETER
I?m just gonna spit it out
CLAIRE [spoken]
How are rehearsals going?
PETER
You probably guessed it years ago
Still it?s kinda hard to say
CLAIRE [spoken]
Peter, we?re so excited about the play
PETER
It?s something that I?ve spent so long not saying
CLAIRE [spoken]
I called your father, he swore he?d be there
PETER
Sometimes it?s on the tip on my tongue
But only spoken aloud, alone
While I?m praying
CLAIRE [spoken]
I?d like to tape it but honestly, Peter, I?m not gonna be one of those parents
PETER
All I ask is an open mind
CLAIRE [spoken]
Peter, perhaps now isn?t the best time
PETER
It's such a lonely bridge to cross
CLAIRE [spoken]
I?m taking Nanna to lunch
PETER
I search for answers on my own
CLAIRE [spoken]
She?s so proud of you, Peter
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
I can?t get the words out
It?s like they?re all jumbled together
Mom, I love you and?
CLAIRE
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
PETER [spoken]
Mom, please listen to me
CLAIRE
Where did Notre Dame go?
I didn?t know that you withdrew
People will be disappointed
Have you really thought this through?
PETER
Mom this is important
Mom you need to listen
Mom don?t shut me out here
Mom you need to see me
CLAIRE
Peter, please I?m so busy here
Let me call you later dear
PETER
God this is so hard to say
I'm so afraid you'll turn away
[spoken]
Mom, I?m?
CLAIRE
Peter, please, I need a break
Whatever it is will have to wait
I?m going to hang up now
I really need to hang up now
PETER
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?
CLAIRE
Peter, please, I can?t solve all your problems
PETER
Mother you know nothing of them,
And I?m not expecting you to find solutions,
Just be my Mom and my friend
See me
CLAIRE [spoken]
I assure you I?m in no state of mind to discuss anything right now
PETER
I?ve been waiting to tell you this since I was twelve
CLAIRE [spoken]
Peter, I?m going to go now
PETER
You don?t want to hear it
You don?t want to see me
Can?t bare to see me
CLAIRE
Peter you tend to dramatize
PETER
There?s a reason for that mother
Open your eyes
CLAIRE
Peter, please, I have to go now
I really need to go right now
[spoken]
I?ll call you
PETER
When mom, when are you going to call?
CLAIRE [spoken]
Soon, Peter, this week, this weekend
PETER
We can work this out together
CLAIRE [spoken]
Maybe before then you?ll work whatever this is out
PETER
This is always on my mind
CLAIRE [spoken]
I have so much on my mind
PETER
Please don?t hang up
CLAIRE [spoken]
I have to go
PETER
Please see me
