I tried so hard, my dear to show
That you're my every dream
"Hey, Evans, you and me, Hogsmeade. Next weekend."
"No."
"Come on, darling, you're my every dream, so let me make one of your dreams come true."
"You'll go away?"
Yet, you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
"Why didn't you go out with me in sixth year, when you started liking me?"
"I didn't understand, of course. How could I? You're one of the most sought-after blokes at Hogwarts."
"You're the prettiest bird here."
"...Shut up and kiss me, James."
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
"I had a boyfriend once, anyway, and he was the love of my life."
"I thought I was the love of your life."
"You weren't then. He wasn't my boyfriend, either. But he teased my friend, and then we weren't friends anymore. I didn't talk to him for a very long time after that."
"Why not?"
"Because I didn't want anybody else to leave me."
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
"Why won't you melt your heart, melt your heart, for me."
"What are you doing, Potter?"
"Singing."
"Well, you're awful."
"That's all right. It was more the message."
"Consider it recieved."
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
"Lily, are you crying?"
"..."
"Lily, what's wrong? I really am sorry about what happened with Snivellus..."
"..."
"Lily?"
"Go away, James, I don't want to see you right now. Or ever."
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
"Lily, I'm not like Snivellus. I won't ever leave you."
"That's what he said!"
"Well, I'll be different."
"No, you won't."
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
"Why can't you just go out with me? Only one date, that's it! That's all I'm asking for!"
"I won't go out with you because you're a prick and an arrogant git, and you're bloody insensitive."
"...I guess I'll just go then."
"Wait, no, James, come back! I didn't mean it!"
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
"I'll never leave you, you know, Lily."
"I know."
[Instrumental Interlude]
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
"Lily, will you marry me?"
"Yes!"
"..."
"You're mine, now, all mine."
"That's okay with me."
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
"Will you ever be able to forget about Petunia, or Snape, or anybody else, and be all mine?"
"They're a part of me, James. Petunia's my sister, and Snape was my best friend. But they're the past."
"What am I?"
"My future."
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
"I used to think I'd never help you forget. That I'd always be completely useless, helpless on the side."
"You're the only thing tethering me to the future. You are my future."
"Always, and forever."
