(Verse)

[REBECCA]

Do you ever feel so alone

That if you were to pick up the phone

No one else would be on the other end?

[NATHANIEL]

Have you ever been far from home

So scared you had to roam

And now you're beaten and tired with no one to call a friend?

(He doesn't count.)

[JOSH]

You tried your best to make a change

But people just think you're strange

And you feel like

(Chorus)

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH]

No one else is singing my song

No one knows the rhythm enough to sing along

If only someone could see

In three-part harmony

[REBECCA]

How alone

[NATHANIEL]

How alone

[JOSH]

How alone

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH]

Only I am

[NATHANIEL]

It's late and getting colder

[JOSH]

You're only getting older

[REBECCA]

And you're next to someone who is fast asleep

[JOSH AND NATHANIEL]

That's so specific

[JOSH]

Does anyone understand?

[NATHANIEL]

Would anyone understand?

[REBECCA]

Could anyone understand?

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH]

Of course not, because

No one else is singing my song

No one knows the rhythm enough to sing along

When the core of your problem is a

Complicated melisma

No one gets

[NATHANIEL]

How alone

[REBECCA]

How alone

[JOSH]

How alone

[REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH]

Only I am

[REBECCA]

But maybe while I'm singing my song

[JOSH]

Someone else is singing along

[REBECCA}

About a third higher, and they echo at a different moment

[NATHANIEL]

Moment!

[REBECCA]

How beautiful it would be

[NATHANIEL]

If it was the entire company

[JOSH]

But that's impossible

[DARRYL]

Impossible

[PAULA]

Impossible

[HEATHER AND VALENCIA]

Impossible

[HECTOR]

Impossible

[GROCERY CLERK WITH HALF AN EYELID]

Or is it?

[ALL]

Of course not

No one else is singing my song

[GROCERY CLERK WITH HALF AN EYELID]

We're out of paper bags

[ALL]

I mean, duh, no one knows the ever-changing rhythm

Enough to sing along

If only someone could see

In 11-part harmony

Or maybe just unison

[REBECCA]

It's logistically impossible

[JOSH]

I am super unique

{REBECCA, NATHANIEL, AND JOSH]

Hold out my lonely hands

[OTHERS]

Ah!

[NATHANIEL]

Oh, hi, guys!

[JOSH]

Hey

[REBECCA]

Only I am
