Drops of Jupiter - Train

Drops of Jupiter - Train

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair,
hey, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change,
hey, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June,
hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation,
hey, hey, heymmmm.....
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s room to grow,
hey, hey, hey, heyyea...
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . .and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah
And did you fall for a shooting star
Fall for a shooting star
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Play-A-Day (Day 19)

Lights up on a small apartment. In one room there is a bed and next to it a small night stand. Along the outside edge of the room there are two dressers. In the bed one man is sleeping. The alarm clock shows 4:46 am. In another room is a small dining table with two chairs at it. In the last room is a kitchen where there is a refrigrater and small island in the middle. On the back of the stage there is a small counter where a there is also a sink and small cabinet. The man in the bed is sound asleep and does not notice when a young woman enters center stage and has with her a hand bag and some luggage. She sets the luggage down beside the dining room table and sets her coat on a coat rack. She walks to the cabinet and takes out a glass and procedes to fill it with water and drinks it. She then places the glass inside the sink and walks into the bedroom where the young man still is sound asleep. She goes over to the side of the bed and leans down to kiss the young man on the lips. Upon doing so he stirs and slowly awakens.

Man
[Still not fully awake] Huh? Who's there?

Woman
It's be baby. I'm home.

Man
Jamie?

Woman
That's me [Sitting down next to him on the bed]

Man
What time is it? [Looking around]

Woman
Early. Sorry if you didn't want to be woken

Man
No that's fine.

Woman
Oh I have so much to tell you about.

Man
Well I'm awake now. [Sitting up more]

Woman
No you can get back to sleep i'll tell you in the morning

Man
Hey you've been gone for a month. I'll give up a couple of hours of sleep to be with you for a little bit.

Woman
[Standing up] No really it's fine

Man
[Taking her hand before she gets to far away] Hey. Jamie come on spill.

Woman
You sure?

Man
Do you think i'd be nearly begging to know if I didn't

Woman
Well I don't even know where to begin

Man
Well how about with whether or not you found what you were looking for.

Woman
[Looking at him deep in the eyes] Yeah. Now that I think about it. Yeah I think I did

Man
Now? So what did you do the rest of the time?

Woman
I explored.

Man
With the intent to find?

Woman
Anything or everything.

Man
Well I'm glad you had a month to go exploring while I was here alone worried about if you were ok every single day

Woman
Hey, I'm sorry but this was something I had to do.

Man
[Slightly irritated] Well maybe when I have to go shopping for a suite I''ll spend a month looking for everything and anything.

Woman
[Defensive] Hey you don't need to be pissy with me. You know this wasn't just some waste of time. Things inside of me had been falling apart.

Man
Well from the looks of it things are pretty well together now [slight pause] without you really discovering anything.

Woman
Sometimes time is the best healer...other times it's distance

Man
Oh really now. And what exactly do you mean by that?

Pause

Woman
I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that.

Man
Well you did and it obviously meant something

Woman
It meant that I'm tired and not thinking straight.

Man
Well here you go [Getting up out of the bed] I'll go sleep in the kitchen.

Woman
Fine!

The young man gathers some stuff to sleep on and carries it into the kitchen. He makes his makeshift bed and lies down in it and tries to fall asleep. The young woman stands the the side of the bed still. She then gets ready to sleep and lies down in the bed but can't sleep. She remains there for a moment until she calls across the stage to the young man.

Woman
I didn't mean to you [waits for a response only not to recieve one] It's just I didn't realize it until just a bit ago because [Searching for what to say] Because I hadn't seen you in so long i'd forgotten how you kept me together so well.

There is silence on stage

Woman
Will you please come to bed? I don't want to spend another night alone.

The young man at first doesnt move but then gathers his stuff and moves back into the bedroom. He tosses the stuff he had been carrying onto her

Woman
Hey!

Man
Now we're even

He lays down beside her and kisses her. Lights fade
