Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say, "Life is too short"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more
Have I lived before
Or could this be all that we've got?
If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

The Spirit Carries On lyrics � Warner/Chappell Music, Inc

On a cloudy night
I looked outside the window
Seeing faces disappear
The wheels of time kept turning
Through endless days and nights
I'm hiding my soul from the light
Holding on to the two sides of a coin
I'm blinded by lies
Too late to return
Late at night the fire starts to burn
I'm a Prisoner of flames
Will I ever learn
We're falling in and outta love
Calling our hearts
Tears from heaven
Don't say goodbye
Love is forever
And I need you to stay
Don't say goodbye
We're so strong together
Don't leave me this way
On and on we searched for Fool's Gold
Putting down the trigger of love
Any chance we had is passing by
Just too late for another try
Lonely hearts lost fires in the night
The end of our romance's in sight

Don't Say Goodbye lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

- Goddamn it, Andrew! If you're going to succeed at this thing you're trying to do... you've got to stop being so damn deferential.
+ I can't help being deferential. It's built-in.
- Then change.
+ Change? I have changed.
- I don't mean on the outside. Change on the inside. Take chances, make mistakes.

+ mistakes?

- Yes, Sometimes it's important not to be perfect, okay? It's important to do the wrong thing!
+Do the wrong thing?
-Yes.
+ Why? oh I see. To learn from your mistakes.
- No. To make them! To find out what's real and what's not, to find out what you feel. Human beings are terrible messes.
+ I'll grant you that. I see. This is what is known as an irrational conversation, isn't it?
- This is a human conversation. It's not about being rational. It's about following your heart.
+ And that's what I should do?
-Yes. And you have a heart, Andrew. I feel it. I don't even believe it sometimes, but I do feel it.
+ And in order to follow that heart... one must do the wrong thing.
- Yes.
+ Thank you.

+So you're not married yet?
-No, two weeks from Saturday.
+I'm not too late. Are you positive you're doing the right thing?
-Positive?
+About getting married?
-I'm never positive about anything.
+You could be doing the wrong thing.
-I'm pretty sure I'm doing the right thing.
+Great.
-Why is that great?
+well, You told me to do the wrong thing. now you aren't doing the wrong thing, you're doing the right thing. You're not following your own advice, 'cause if you were you wouldn't marry him.
-Because I would be doing the right thing.
+Precisely.
-In some strange way, you're starting to make sense.
+Good. give me an idea of what it's like to be in love with someone who's marrying someone else? Someone who's magnificent? Someone who walks into a room and lights it up like the sun? Someone who you know is lying to herself?
-Lying?
+Convincingly. Very very much so.
-About what?
+That you don't love me when I know, at least in some way, you do.
-And how do you know that?
+ Portia, I have done everything, inside and out.
-That stuff doesn't matter to me.
+Something matters. If nothing mattered, you'd love me... and not some man whose chin could sink the Titanic.
- What?

+ See? It's true, isn't it?
Sorry.
Does he light you up like this? Does he make you laugh?
-Nobody makes me laugh like this.
+Good. Then admit it. Admit that you love me. Give me one kiss. That's all. So one quick kiss. Just one kiss could not jeopardise a glorious marriage. It would also explain why your pulse just jumped from 66 to 102 beats per minute. Your respiration is doubled. You're putting out clouds of pheromones.
-It's not fair to read me like that.
+I know. Love isn't fair. I'm reading your heart. I'm asking you to follow it. Begging you. Begging is supposed to be humiliating. I don't care. I love you, Portia. I loved you the very first moment I saw you.
