Note: I do not own the song or melody. I only own the very slight rewrites to make the song a better fit for Varian and Hugo.
Hugo appeared in front of the trio. "Give me the totems!" he said.
"Hugo, you don't wanna do this!" Varian cried.
Crossing the Line (Varian and Hugo Version) Lyrics
Varian: This has to stop now
Whatever it is you're going through
We can fix it together
Me and you
Just you wait and see
Hugo: No!
This has to stop now
This thing where you think
That you've been my friend
And don't even hear how you condescend
The way you've always done
Varian: Hugo, listen
Hugo: I'm listening
Varian: I know it isn't true
Hugo: Isn't it?
Varian: Just look into my eyes now
Hugo: Well?
Varian: I know you feel it too
Hugo: Perhaps I do
Varian: Hugo, listen
Hugo: I'm listening
Varian: I swear it's not too late
So before another line gets crossed
And everything we've had is lost
Just wait...
Hugo: Wait?
No, I won't wait
Varian (spoken): Hugo!
Hugo: There's a line between
The winners and the losers
There's a line between
The chosen and the rest
And I've done the best I could
But I've always known just where we stood
Me here with the luckless
You there with the blessed
And that line between
The beggars and the choosers
Is a line you've never let me quite ignore
How I've tried
To jump that great divide
But I never got the chances
You were given
You don't know
How much I've been denied
Well, I'm not being patient anymore
I'm crossing the line!
And I'm done holding back
So look out, clear the track
It's my turn!
I'm taking what's mine!
Every drop
Every smidge
If I'm burning a bridge
Let it burn!
But I'm crossing the line!
And if things are over
That's fine
Varian (spoken): Wait!
Hugo: I'm crossing the line
Hugo snatched the seven totems from Varian and Yong.
"What do you have for me, Princess?" Hugo said.
"Nothing! I swear!" Princess Nuru said.
"Good. 'Cause you don't have my heart," Hugo replied. "I'm gay."
Varian's heart sank. Was this all true? He had to find out. But of course it had to take its time – things had to run their course before he started again.
