Before It's Too Late - Goo Goo Dolls

I wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes
And hold on before it's too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
And the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you dont live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone
Hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
So live like you mean it
Love til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone
And hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
And hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life

Play-A-Day (Day ??)

Lights up on a hospital room. In the bed is a little girl. She has tubes coming out of her nose and there is an IV drip next to her going into her arm. She has bandages over most of her body that can be seen. There are a great number of moniters all on one side of the bed monitering heart rate, respiration, and all the works. At the other side of the bed is a chair and sitting in it is a small boy who has his head against the bed and his hands have the little girls in his. He is weeping. After a few moments she begins to stir.

Girl
[With great difficulty] He...Hello [Unable to look around] Who [Coughing] Who's there?

Boy
It's me.

Waiting for a response only not to reviece one

My mom told me about what happened. I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Still no response

I'm sorry I got mad at you the other day. I know you were just trying to help.

Still nothing

Will you please say something?

Nothing

Emily? [Shaking her slightly] EMILY!?

The heart moniter go offs signallying her stopped heartrate. Nurses and docters rush in forcing the boy out of the way. The lights on the stage then go dim. The boy steps forward and adresses the audience.

This is all my fault. If i hadn't gotten mad at her for not playing with me at recess none of this would have ever happened. She wouldn't have been in such a rush to get home. She wouldn't have crossed the street without looking. She wouldn't be here now. She would be fine.

Lights come back up with the docters/nurses once more forcing the boy from the stage as they attempt to save the girl. Lights fade
