See Me

Hello?

Mother I need to talk to you

Peter, honey, I was just gonna call you

There's something that you need to know

Gone a week, I miss you already

I'm just gonna spit it out

How are rehearsals going?

You probably guessed it years ago

Still it's kinda hard to say

Peter, we're so excited about the play

It's something that I've spent so long not saying

I called your father, he swore he'd be there

Sometimes it's on the tip on my tongue

But only spoken aloud, alone, while I'm praying

I'd like to tape it, but honestly, Peter

I'm not gonna be one of those parents

All I ask is an open mind

Peter, perhaps now isn't the best time

It's such a lonely bridge to cross

I'm taking Nana to lunch

I've searched for answers on my own

She's so proud of you, Peter

To find that I'm completely lost

Mom, please, don't say anything else

Just listen

I don't know where to start

God, I can't even get the words out

It's like they're all jumbled together

Mom, I love you and—

Berkley took their wait list

When they called I almost died

Would you really go to Berkley?

I didn't know that you'd applied

Mom, please listen to me

Where did Notre Dame go?

I didn't know that you withdrew

People will be disappointed

Have you really thought this through?

Mom, this is important

Mom, you need to listen

Please don't shut me out here

Mom, you need to see me

Peter, please I'm so busy here

Let me call you later dear

God, this is so hard to say

I'm so afraid you'll turn away

Mom, I'm—

Peter, please, I need a break

Whatever it is will have to wait

I'm going to hang up now

I really need to hang up now

Don't hang up, this took such courage

I'm dying here, I'm all alone

I know you know you know what I'm saying

Just let me tell you

Mom, I'm—

Peter, please, I can't solve all your problems

Mother, you know nothing of them

And I'm not expecting you to find solutions

Just to be my mom and my friend

See me...

I assure you I'm in no state of mind to discuss anything right now

I've been waiting to tell you this since I was twelve

Peter, I'm going to go now

You don't want to hear it

You don't want to see me

Can't bear to see me

Peter, you tend to dramatize

There's a reason for that mother

Open your eyes

Peter, please, I have to go now

I really need to go right now

I'll call you

When mom, when are you going to call?

Soon, Peter, this week, this weekend

We can work this out together

Maybe before then you'll work whatever this is out

This is always on my mind

I have so much on my mind

Please don't hang up

I have to go

Please, see me
