"The Next Ten Minutes" lyrics

Ben Platt & Rachel Zegler Lyrics

"The Next Ten Minutes"
(originally by Sherie Rene Scott & Norbert Leo Butz)

No, that one's Jerry Seinfeld
That one's John Lennon there
No, the Dakota
The San Remo is up a few blocks
Have you been inside the museum?
We should go
Meet the dinosaurs
Cathy

Will you share your life with me
For the next ten minutes?
For the next ten minutes:
We can handle that
We could watch the waves
We could watch the sky
Or just sit and wait
As the time ticks by
And if we make it 'til then
Could I ask you again
For another ten?

And if you in turn agree
To the next ten minutes
And the next ten minutes
'Til the morning comes
Then just holding you
Might compel me to
Ask you for more
There are so many lives I wanna share with you
I will never be complete until I do

I am not always on time
Please don't expect that from me
I will be late
But if you can just wait
I will make it eventually

Not like it's in my control
Not like I'm proud of the fact
But anything other than being exactly on time
I can do

I don't know why people run
I don't know why things fall through
I don't know how anybody survives in this life
Without someone like you
I could protect and preserve
I could say no and goodbye
But why, Jamie, why?

I want to be your wife
I want to bear your child
I want to die
Knowing I
Had a long, full life in your arms
That I can do
Forever

(With you) Will you share your life with me (Forever)
For the next ten lifetimes? (Forever)
For a million summers (Jamie)

'Til the world explodes
'Til there's no one left
Who has ever known us apart!

There are so many dreams I need to see with you

There are so many years I need to be with you

I will never be complete

I will never be alive

I will never change the world
Until I do

I do

I do

I do

I do

Is that one John Lennon?
That's the San Remo
Isn't that the museum?
Can we go see the dinosaurs?
