The Soliloquy - You & I Both


Jason Mraz is probably one of the best live singers I have ever heard. It's also amazing how the words can touch people through music & lyrics...

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing out the whole thing

Pepper Potts: I got you! 
Tony Stark: I got you first! 

The magical moment when some one tells you that things will be fine and you gave yourself away in whole. Without thinking, you trusted... Not knowing that you might just be the silly one, engaging in this soliloquy. Ironman says, "Everything will be just fine".

Tony Stark: I just want to talk to you for a minute, well, make that 30 seconds... 
Pepper Potts: Okay. 
[looks at her watch
Pepper Potts: 29, 28, 27... 

Oh but at often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

If you know you can do more than words, you would. But with this pair of useless hands, what can be done? What would you have done? What would you do?

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love
Oh the love that I love, yeah

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Maybe with words, it's the only way you know how to. You yearn to be accepted with the mere and only words you have. Words are afterall, the only thing you can hang on to given the lack of warmth.  

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see now
Oh love, love, you and I, you and I
Not so little, you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy
You and I... Not so little anymore. The pain is not so little. The hurt is not so little. The words weren't so little... The stinging words weren't so little... The not so little things jolt people from their stupor.

Pepper Potts: Don't! 
Tony Stark: It's okay... 
Pepper Potts: I'm hot, I'll hurt you! 
Tony Stark: [touches Pepper] No, you won't. See? Not hot. 
Pepper Potts: Am I going to be okay? 
Tony Stark: No. You're in a relationship with me, nothing will ever be okay. But I had this twenty years ago when I was drunk, I can sort it out. I fix stuff. 

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of...
Well I'm almost finally finally
Well I am free, oh I'm free

And it's okay if you had to go away
Oh, just remember the telephone
Well, they're working it both ways
But if I never, ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Finally found you someone else and that's okay
'Cause I'll remember everything you sang

The one way telephone will have to stop at some point. The phone will ring if you truly matter. Stop the soliloquy now, Pepper Potts. 

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of....
Well I'm almost finally, finally out of words

Out of words. 


Tony Stark: I thought we were having a moment. 
Pepper Potts: I was having 12% of a moment. 


Love, Sweets...
