[JOHN]
I'm not here as a friend
I have a job to do
It's strange to find my work
Should lead me here to you
Chris knows all about you
I have shown him all this
But I think that it's time
You know all about Chris

[KIM]
Please, don't you see that's all I live for?
I have him and nothing more
At night, everything that's not him
Disappears behind my door

[JOHN]
Please, he went crazy when he lost you
Spoke to no one for a year
Then he finally said, "I'm home now
My life has to go on here"
Kim, let me finish talking please
That was three whole years ago

[KIM]
Yes, yes I know
I know how pain can grow
When the rock you hold onto
Is a love miles away
Listen, please
I already know this story
Take us to the U.S.A.
