Here I Go – Idina Menzel (with James Snyder) (from “If/Then: A New Musical” soundtrack)
By
[Liz:] I’m not one for fortunes Or wishing on a star And I’ve studied all the stories And what our chances are Then my heart starts beating faster And it makes this disaster worse by far Still, here I go Oh, here I go
Now I know all the motions The steps to every dance And I count cards at the table I never bet on chance I leave nothing to the gods I know all the odds and even so Still, here I go Oh, here I go Why, I don’t know Oh, here I go
[Josh:] You’re not some romantic You know, that’s no surprise And you’re no good at small talk Or little, loving lies
[Liz:] I’m awkward, ungrateful, And sometimes, I’m hateful As you know
[Josh:] Still, here we go
[Both:] Oh, here we go
[Liz:] You know, deep down, I’m a coward Afraid to let you in But the only thing more fright’ning Is to say, “what might have been” So here I go Oh, here I go I love you so
