Hammie Watches Hamilton

Quatorze

(Excuse my bad writing.)

"Ooh, this is Burr's song," Scarlet smirked.

"What?" Burr and Aaron asked sharply in sync.

They had been so careful to not let anyone know their motives.

"You'll see," Olivia sighed.

[BURR]
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away

Angelica and Eliza glared at Burr.

He's on the British side in Georgia
He's trying to keep the colonies inline
But he can keep all of Georgia
Theodosia, she's mine

"You would be a liability in war if you think like that," Washington frowned.

Love doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes

Hamilton nodded. It was so true for him.

And we keep loving anyway
We laugh and we cry and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm by her side
When so many have tried
Then I'm willing to wait for it
I'm willing to wait for it
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher

"Aaron's childhood?" Alexander asked interestedly.

(Preacher, Preacher, Preacher)
But there are things that the
Homilies and hymns won't teach ya
(Teach ya, Teach ya, Teach ya)
My mother was a genius (Genius)
My father commanded respect (Respect, Respect)
When they died they left no instructions
Just a legacy to protect

"Legacies are idiotic," Peggy declared.

Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)
I'm willing to wait for it

Hamilton nodded again.

"Oh god, is this going to be repeated too?" Jefferson groaned.

"I swear to fucking gods you are playing with fire," Olivia growled.

I am the one thing in life I can control
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I am inimitable
I am an original
I'm not falling behind or running late
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I'm not standing still
I am lying in wait (Wait, wait, wait)

"So you truly are unopinionated?" Alexander asked, frowning.

"No, I wait for my opinions to play out. I spectate. Observe," Burr corrected.

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
(Climb, climb, climb)

"Thank... you...?" Alexander said hesitantly in confusion.

He has something to prove
He has nothing to lose
(Lose, lose, lose, lose)

"Well, I do have Eliza now. Not nothing," Alexander shrugged.

Eliza smiled.

Hamilton's pace is relentless
He wastes no time
(Time, time, time)
What is it like in his shoes?

"Really small, he's short as fuck," Mulligan snorted.

Hamilton doesn't hesitate
He exhibits no restraint
He takes and he takes and he takes
And he keeps winning anyway
He changes the game
He plays and he raises the stakes
And if there's a reason
He seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit
I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)
I'm willing to wait for it

"You hate me that much, Burr?" Hamilton asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Not hate. Perhaps I am envious and slightly irritated at your successs," Burr admitted hesitantly.

"That's it, he's telling us his thoughts!" Alexander snickered.

Life doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
(And we keep living anyway)
We rise (and we fall)
We fall (and we break)
(And we make our mistakes)

"I like the message of this one," Eliza hummed.

Angelica nodded in agreement.

And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When so many have died
Then I'm willin' to-
Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it)
Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
(Wait)

"Alright, next song!" Olivia exclaimed.
