SCENE: Candyce’s loft, two weeks later.

Candyce and Mario are in bed, their chemistry suggesting a beginning as life partners. Their tryst is interrupted by an unexpected text from Cliff announcing that he’s only a few blocks away and is coming over.

lyrics

Heart-Shaped Box
(Mario / Candyce)

[Mario]
We’re floating

[Candyce]
in the light

[Mario]
We came so far

[Candyce]
overnight

[Mario]
you took my wrists like handlebars

[Candyce]
The guardrails and the white lines were a blur

[Mario]
We’re singing

[Candyce]
our hunger song

[Mario]
This electricity

[Candyce]
can’t be wrong

[Mario]
Our bodies solved

[Candyce]
a mystery

[Mario]
The key

[Candyce]
and the lock

[Mario & Candyce]
Opened the heart-shaped box between us

[Mario]
The slowly moving sky above

[Candyce]
Our ribbon of road below

[Mario & Candyce]
and everything in-between in afterglow

[Mario]
Through the alley in the rain

[Candyce]
Kissing droplets off of your face

[Mario & Candyce]
Away we flew so high

[Candyce]
up the steps to your place

[Mario]
A thousand moments

[Mario]
with a thousand hands

[Candyce]
Our hair entwined

[Mario]
in a thousand strands

Conversation

[Candyce]
without a word

[Mario]
Gossip from the sheets

[Candyce]
is all we heard

[Mario]
Our fascination

[Candyce]
burning bright

[Mario]
Our heart-shaped box

[Candyce]
full of secrets and light

[Mario & Candyce]
Our parade float came down
when we climbed these apartment stairs
and we lost the weight
of being lighter than air
When the chains of the day

[Candyce]
All fell away

[Mario]
Test my faith inside your flame

[Candyce]
Melt my fear inside your strength

[Mario]
From our fire

[Candyce]
comes the steel

[Mario]
Toxic guy in your past

[Candyce]
Means nothing to me

[Mario]
I’ll steal you from him

[Candyce]
Yes steal me from him forever

[Mario]
And if he tries to steal you back

[Mario & Candyce]
separate us even for a day

[Mario]
I’ll raise this fighter’s fist
drive him body and soul away
