Lyrics
[ZOE:] I don't need you to sell me on reasons to want you I don't need you to search for the proof that I should You don't have to convince me You don't have to be scared you're not enough 'Cause what we've got going is good

I don't need more reminders of all that's been broken I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget Clear the slate and start over Try to quiet the noises in your head

We can't compete with all that

So what if it's us? What if it's us And only us And what came before won't count anymore or matter? Can we try that?

What if it's you And what if it's me And what if that's all that we need it to be And the rest of the world falls away? What do you say?

[EVAN:] I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me

[ZOE:] Well...

[EVAN:] So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go But if you really see me If you like me for me and nothing else Well, that's all that I've wanted for longer that you could possibly know

So it can be us It can be us And only us And what came before won't count anymore or matter We can try that

[EVAN & ZOE:] It's not so impossible

[EVAN:] Nobody else but the two of us here

[EVAN & ZOE:] 'Cause you're saying it's possible

[ZOE:] We can just watch the whole world disappear

[EVAN & ZOE:] 'Til you're the only one I still know how to see

[EVAN:] It's just you and me

[ZOE:] It'll be us It'll be us And only us And what came before won't count anymore

[EVAN & ZOE:] We can try that You and me That's all that we need it to be And the rest of the world falls away And the rest of the world falls away

The world falls away The world falls away And it's only us
