lyrics

ELLIOT:
We could go to fancy stores
And pretend we’re royalty

FARID:
Window shop
Then get student tickets
To the symphony

ELLIOT:
Down kettle corn, feel sick
And get lost in a corn maze

FARID:
Find a meadow in the next town
That’s perfect to stargaze

ELLIOT:
Take a break together
From obligation

FARID:
Replace stress and study
With celebration

ELLIOT:
It's nice to have a friend
Who sees who you’ll become

FARID:
Doesn't see you as a trend
Knows your flaws
And doesn't run

BOTH:
One on whom you can depend

FARID:
It's nice to have a friend

ELLIOT:
Should we invite others, like Travis
Or some of the other suitemates?

FARID:
No
I don’t know any of them very well

ELLIOT:
Well, isn’t that the point of
Getting to know each other better?

FARID:
Some of the things to do
Are just for two people

ELLIOT:
Nothing you mentioned
Was just for two people?

FARID:
There's a cafe just downtown
Every table is a chess board
And that’s a two player game
So that obviously wouldn’t work
Or I could teach you fencing
But I only have two swords
And I also don't really know how to fence

ELLIOT:
Lets just take a break together
From obligation

FARID:
Replace stress and study
With celebration

BOTH:
It's nice to have a friend
Who sees who you’ll become
Doesn't see you as a trend
Knows your flaws
And doesn't run
One on whom you can depend
It's nice to have a

ELLIOT:
Moment together
You and I

FARID:
More than one would be better
Not gonna lie

ELLIOT:
Why don't you choose the activity?

FARID:
And you’ll come along?

ELLIOT:
I've already told you I’m free

BOTH:
It's nice to have a friend
Who sees who you’ll become
Doesn't see you as a trend
Knows your flaws
And doesn't run
One on whom you can depend
There is no need to pretend
It's nice to have a
X

ELLIOT:
Ahh!

FARID:
I am so sorry
That was not on the list of activities
I should have asked for consent

ELLIOT:
I thought you were…
You’re gay?

FARID:
I swear I’m straight
I like girls, I do....

ELLIOT:
But you kissed me?

FARID:
I’m sorry
No, I’m
I’m just…
So sorry

ELLIOT:
Do you know what “bi” means?

FARID:
Bye?
You’re already leaving?

ELLIOT:
Farid, I’m not leaving
This is my room
