I've never had a real job before
'Cause I've never been on my own before
All I know is that rent is expensive
Extensive and endless
I gotta be relentless to get this job
Hoping a friend's reference helps my odds
'Cause when I see a checklist of requisites
I've got next to no experience
I've found ten new venues lined up
Hoping that I wind up signed up
Waiting tables
Or maybe make cash bartending
Watch my spending
Then maybe I'll be stable
Pretending I'm packed with skills
When back at home I'll be stacked with bills
If I don't pay rent what are they gonna say
Is today my lucky day?
Guess not 'cause they're saying
[ENSEMBLE]
No
No
[INDIGO]
Everywhere that I apply they tell me
[ENSEMBLE]
No
No
[INDIGO]
Nobody hires me, no one's helping
[INDIGO & ENSEMBLE]
Wonder how I'll pay rent
Wonder how the days went by so fast
[INDIGO]
My Dad must have worked real hard for us to last
That's one thing that I
[ENSEMBLE]

One thing that I

Know

[ELISEO]
Tryna be the voice of reason
Trying to appease him
He's in pure denial
Tryna understand his views
Walk in his shoes
But the truth is I don't last a mile
At night I'm on the phone
Tryna let him know he's not alone
He barely answers
Even if there's a chance I could help him advance
I'm met with the loudest
[ENSEMBLE]
No
No
[ELISEO]
Everytime I try to call he tells me
[ENSEMBLE]
No
No
[ELISEO]
Everything's a fight and it's not healthy
[ALL]
Wonder how we'll pay rent
Wonder how the days went by so fast
[ELISEO]
I'd give everything so he'd come home at last
I need him to
[ENSEMBLE]
Know
Know
Know
[ELISIO]
I need him to

[INDIGO & ENSEMBLE]
I try looking for more jobs at night
[ELISEO & ENSEMBLE]
I try showing him my softer side
[INDIGO & ENSEMBLE]
I try holding onto hope 'cause I know that
[INDIGO & ELISEO]
The world doesn't care how I feel
How I cope, how
[ELISEO & ENSEMBLE]
I try giving him the space he needs
[INDIGO & ENSEMBLE]
I try every single place I see
[INDIGO, INDIGO & ELISEO, ALL]
I try thinking of the dream
How I can't lose steam
How we used to be a team
[INDIGO]
But I've never had a real job before
[ELISEO]
I've never been on my own before
[INDIGO]
All I know is that rent is expensive
[ELISEO]
I've gotta be relentless
[INDIGO & ELISEO]
Gotta be relentless
[ENSEMBLE]
No
No
[INDIGO]
Everywhere that I apply they tell me
[ENSEMBLE]
No
No
[ELISEO]
We keep fighting, we keep yelling
[ALL]
Wonder how we'll pay rent
Wonder how the days went by so fast
I'd give anything to make this moment pass
That's one thing that I
[ENSEMBLE, ELISEO, INDIGO]
