Satisfied

Alright, alright
That's what I'm talkin' about
Now, everyone give it up for the maid of honor
Angelica Schuyler


John Laurens was in Philadelphia as a prisoner of wart the time (maybe Miranda scripted like that so there would be "cries in gay" memes made out of it)

A toast to the groom (To the groom, to the groom, to the groom)
To the bride (To the bride, to the bride, to the bride)
From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)
Who is always by your side (By your side, by your side)

To your union (To the union, to the revolution)
And the hope that you provide (You provide, you provide)
May you always (Always)
Be satisfied (Rewind)

Rewind, rewind
Helpless, sky's, sky's
Drownin' in em
Drownin', rewind

I remember that night I just might (Rewind)
I remember that night I just might (Rewind)
I remember that night, I remember that–
I remember that night, I just might regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember those soldier boys tripping over themselves to win our praise
I remember that dreamlike candlelight like a dream that you can't quite place
But Alexander, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said "Hi", I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, every part aflame
This is not a game

We all by now know, because many people have said this before I have, but shall still say: Angelica wasn't there at the ball where Hamilton met Eliza.

You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied

I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself

You're like me, I'm never satisfied

Is that right?

I've never been satisfied

My name is Angelica Schuyler

Alexander Hamilton

Where's your family from?

Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait

So, so, so
So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level
What the hell is the catch?
It's the feeling of freedom, of seein' the light
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite
You see it, right?

The conversation lasted two minutes
Maybe three minutes, everything we said in total agreement
It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance
He's a bit of a flirt, but I'ma give it a chance
I asked about his family, did you see his answer?
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance
He's penniless, he's flying by the seat of his pants

Handsome, boy, does he know it
Peach fuzz, and he can't even grow it
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is...

Helpless

And I know she is

Helpless

And her eyes are just

Helpless

And I realize

Three fundamental truths at the exact same time

Where are you taking me?

I'm about to change your life

Then, by all means, lead the way

Number one

I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I'm the one who has to social climb for one
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious
And Alexander is penniless
Ha! 

At the time, Angelica he'd to younger brothers, John Bradstreet Schuyler (1765–1795) and   Phillip Jeremiah Schuyler (1768–1835)

That doesn't mean I want him any less

Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you

Schuyler?

My sister

Number two

He's after me 'cause I'm a Schuyler sister, that elevates his status
I'd have to be naïve to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza, now that's his bride
Nice going, Angelica, he was right, you will never be satisfied

Thank you for all your service

If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it

I'll leave you to it

Number three

I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned, he'd be mine
She would say, "I'm fine"
She'd be lying

But when I fantasize at night it's Alexander's eyes
As I romanticise what might have been if I hadn't sized him up so quickly

At least my dear Eliza's his wife
At least I keep his eyes in my life

To the groom (To the groom, to the groom, to the groom)
To the bride (To the bride, to the bride, to the bride)
From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)
Who is always by your side (By your side, by your side)
To your union (To the union, to the revolution)
And the hope that you provide (You provide, you provide)
May you always (Always)
Be satisfied (Be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)

And I know (Be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
She'll be happy as his bride (Be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
And I know (Be satisfied, be satisfied, be satisfied)
He will never be satisfied
I will never be satisfied

Also, what is the deal with Angelica+Hamilton? I swear, heteronormative historians are like twelve-year-olds:

Random Person: *interacts with someone of another gender*

Historians: So, when's the wedding happening???

But there was no evidence they had an affair other than flirty letters, but that's like people taking those fake marriages we all got when we were five seriously.
