Lafayette:
Oui, Oui mon amis!
That's what I'm talkin' about!
Now, everyone give it up for le meilleur homme-
John Laurens!!

John Turtle Boi-
A toast to the groom
To the bride
From your best friend
Who is always by your side

To your union
And the hope that you divide (Provide)
May you always
Be satisfied (Rewind)

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

I remember that night I just might
I remember that night I just might
I remember that night, I remember that– *Pianooooo*

I remember that night, I just might regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember my soldier friends tripping over themselves to win their praise
I remember that dream like candlelight like a dream that you can't quite place

But my dear boy, 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

"You strike me as a man 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 John Laurens"
"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 'bove 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

Of course he's a man, 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, do I 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 Eliza'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 man in a world in which my only job is to fight the war
My father has two sons so I'm the one who gets die in one
And I'm the oldest but men and their relationships in New York City is insidious
But Alexander's prettiness
Aahh! I want a woman less and less

"Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you"
"Schuyler?"
"Their daughter"

Number two

He's after me even though I'm a guy, that elevates his habits
I'd have to be stupid to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza, now that's his bride
Nice going, John, 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 lover like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell him I still love him he'd completely leave his bride,
He'd be mine

I say, "I'm fine"
I'm still lying

But when I fantasize at night it's Alexander's eyes

As I romanticize what might have been if society-
-didn't judge so quickly

At least his dear Eliza's his wife

At least I keep his eyes in my life

*More pianoooo*

To the groom
To the bride
From your ex- lover
Who's still always by your side

To my love for you
And the hope that you'd be mine
We will never-
Be satisfied

And I know
She'll be happy as his bride
And I know
I will never be satisfied

We will never be satisfied
