Have you been writing those letters to yourself?
"Dear Evan Hansen"
This is gonna be a good day and here's why"
EVAN (spoken)
I started one
HEIDI (spoken)
Those letters are important, honey
They're gonna help you build your confidence!
EVAN (spoken)
I guess
HEIDI
Can we try to have an optimistic outlook, huh?
Can we buck up just enough to see the world won't fall apart?
Maybe this year we decide we're not giving up before we've tried
This year we make a new start
HEIDI (spoken)
Hey, I know
You can go around and ask the other kids to sign your cast
How 'bout that?
EVAN (spoken)
Perfect
HEIDI (spoken)
I'm proud of you already
EVAN (spoken)
Oh...good
HEIDI
Another stellar conversation for the scrapbook
Another stumble as I'm reaching for the right thing to say
I'm kinda coming up empty
I can't find my way to you
Does anybody have a map?
Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?
I don't know if you can tell
But this is me just pretending to know
So where's the map?
I need a clue
'Cause the scary truth is
I'm flyin' blind
I'm making this up as I go
CYNTHIA (spoken)
It's your senior year, Connor
You are not missing the first day
CONNOR (spoken)
I already said I'd go tomorrow
LARRY (spoken)
He doesn't listen
Look at him
He's probably high
ZOE (spoken)
He's definitely high
CYNTHIA (spoken)
I don't want you going to school high, Connor
CONNOR (spoken)
Perfect
So then I won't go
Thanks, mom!
CYNTHIA
Another masterful attempt ends with disaster
LARRY (spoken)
Interstate's already jammed
CYNTHIA
Pour another cup of coffee
And watch it all crash and burn
ZOE (spoken)
Connor finished the milk!
CYNTHIA
It's a puzzle
It's a maze
I've tried to steer through it a million ways
But each day is another wrong turn
LARRY (spoken)
I better head out
ZOE (spoken)
If Connor's not ready, I'm leaving without him
HEIDI & CYNTHIA
Does anybody have a map? Anybody have a map?
Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?
I don't know if you can tell
But this is me just pretending to know
HEIDI
So where's the map?
CYNTHIA
I need a clue
BOTH
'Cause the scary truth is
CYNTHIA
I'm flyin' blind
HEIDI
I'm flyin' blind
CYNTHIA
I'm flyin' blind
HEIDI
I'm flyin'
BOTH
I'm flyin' blind
And I'm making this up as I go
As I go
