I got dressed very quickly, the dress for the next song was already under this dress. I sat behind the piano, the elevator went up. Everybody started screaming. I started playing on the piano for some background music for my speech too.
"Um, for me, a lot of time people ask me if there is a time and a place where I write songs the most. And um, there's really not really a place where I write songs the most, but I guess if I write a song in the middle of the night, say from hours of 1 am to 4 or 5 in the morning, then chances are the reason I'm writing a song is I'm trying to forget. Um, whether it's trying to forget something bad that happened or the worst kind, the worst kind of trying to forget is when you had to say goodbye to someone so you're trying to forget all the good things about them, that's the worst kind. But I guess in some cases, if you can't forget something, maybe you're not supposed to. Maybe, healing from is going to take not trying so hard to forget it but to just, I guess, remember it all." I said. The crowd screamed.

"I walked through the door with you, the air was cold,
But something 'bout it felt like home somehow.
And I left my scarf there at your sister's house,
And you've still got it in your drawer even now.

Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze.
We're singing in the car, getting lost Upstate.
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place,
And I can picture it after all these days.

And I know it's long gone,
And that magic's not here no more,
And I might be okay,
But I'm not fine at all.

'Cause there we are again on that little town street.
You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over at me.
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well.

Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red.
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin sized bed
And your mother's telling stories about you on a tee ball team
You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me.

And I know it's long gone
And there was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough
To forget why I needed to...

'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night.
We're dancing around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah.

Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much,
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up.
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well.

Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise.
So casually cruel in the name of being honest.
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well.

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it 'cause you remember it all too well, yeah

'Cause there we are again, when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well."
The crowd screamed.
"Thank you." I said.
"I'm gonna play you a song that I wrote about a relationship that I was in that the number one feeling I felt in the howl relationship was anxiety um, because it felt very fragile and it always felt like, okay what's the next roadblock? What's the next thing that's gonna, that's gonna end this? How long do we have before this just turns into an awful mess and we break up? Is it a month, is it 3 days? And so you know I think a lot of relationships can be very solid and that's kinda what you hope for solid and healthy, but that's not always what you get and um, it doesn't mean that it's not special and extraordinary just to have a relationship that's fragile and somehow meaningful in that fragility. So this is a song that I wrote and it's called Out Of The Woods." I said. People screamed, the first time ever this one is going to be played live. I started playing the piano.

"Looking at it now
It all seems so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking...

Are we out of the woods yet?
...
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
...
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet? Good.
Are we out of the woods yet?
...
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
...
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Good.

Looking at it now
Last December
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided, we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance,
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
And I remember thinkin'

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
When you started cryin', baby, I did, too
But when the sun came up, I was lookin' at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out and said, "I'm settin' you free,"
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
And when the sun came up, you were lookin' at me
You were lookin' at me
You were lookin' at me,
I remember, oh, I remember

I remember
I remember
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet good."
The crowd went wild I've never seen anything like that. The lights went off.
