The Last Five Years Page #3

But I keep rolling on

Some people can't find

success with their art

Some people never feel

love in their heart

Some people can't tell

the two things apart

But I keep rolling on

Oh, oh

Maybe I can't follow through

But oh, oh

What else am I supposed to do?

Ooh

Hey, Mike, it's Cathy.

Yeah, how are you?

Um, yeah, no, just two quick things.

I'm not going to talk your ear off.

I just wanted to know if you got

the reviews that I sent you

from last summer?

Thank you. Yeah, it's really exciting.

No, the second thing was just...

...if you have anything

you want to send me in on,

I'm sort of suddenly...

free this summer,

I'm, like, available, so...

Yes.

Yeah, as soon as I'm doing something

in the city, I'll let you know.

OK. No, no, no, no, I understand.

OK, thanks.

That wasn't...

that wasn't too painful, was it?

Right. OK.

OK. Bye, Mike.

OK, ladies.

Uh... Mariah, Taylor, Rachel,

Lauren and Sophia.

Follow me to the dance audition.

And everyone else, thank you very much.

I dreamed of writing

like the high and mighty

Now I'm the subject of a bidding war

I met my personal Aphrodite

I'm doing things

I never dreamed of before

We start to take the next step together

Found an apartment on 73rd

The Atlantic Monthly's

printing my first chapter

Two thousand bucks

without rewriting one word

I left Columbia and I don't regret it

I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it

My heart's been stolen

My ego's swollen

I just keep rolling along

Oh

Oh, yeah

And I think "Well, well,

what else is in store?"

Got all this and more before 24

It's hard not to be sure

I'm spinning out of control

Out of control

I'm feeling panicked

and rushed and hurried

I'm feeling outmaneuvered and outclassed

But I'm so happy I can't get worried

About this singular impression

I've got a singular impression

Things are moving too fast

Hi, can I help you?

Yes, hi. I'm looking for Alise Michaels.

- Mr. Wellerstein.

- Yes.

Hey, I'm Dade, Alise's assistant.

- Let me show you the way.

- Oh, great.

- Hi.

- Hello. Hi. Jamie.

- Jamie Wellerstein.

- Alise Michaels.

It is an absolute pleasure to meet you.

- Wow, this is great.

- Have a seat.

Would you like a glass of water?

Yes. Thank you so much for having me.

Everyone in the office

is absolutely thrilled to meet you.

Everybody has been so nice,

from just walking in the door.

- Everyone's a huge fan of the book.

- This is beautiful.

- I've never even been this high up.

- It's a great office. Yes, thank you.

That's great. Thank you.

One day we're just like

Leave It To Beaver

One day it's just a typical life

And then he's off on

a trip to Jamie-land

Staring catatonic out the window
