[HEIDI] (spoken):

Have you been writing those letters to your self? "Dear Evan Hansen, this is going to be a good day and here's why..."

[EVAN] (spoken):

I started one

[HEIDI] (spoken):

Those letters are important honey, they're gonna help you build your confidence.

[EVAN] (spoken):

I guess

[HEIDI]

Can we try to have an

optimistic outlook?

Huh?

Can we buck up just enough

To see the world won't fall apart?

Maybe this year we decide

We're not giving up before we've tried

This year we make a new start

(spoken)

Hey. I know. You can go around today and ask the other kids to sign your cast. How bout that?

[EVAN] (spoken):

Perfect

[HEIDI] (spoken):

I'm proud of you already

[EVAN] (spoken):

Oh... good...

[HEIDI]

Another stellar conversation for the scrapbook

Another stumble as I'm reaching for

The right thing to say

I'm kinda coming up empty

Can't find my way to you

Does anybody have a map?

Anybody maybe happen to know

how the hell to do this?

I don't know if you can tell

But this is me just pretending to know

So where's the map?

I need a clue

Cause the scary truth is

I'm flying blind and I'm making this up as I go

[CYNTHIA] (spoken):

It's your senior year Connor you are not missing the first day

[CONNOR] (spoken):

I already said I'd go tomorrow

[LARRY] (spoken):

He doesn't listen, look at him he's probably high

[ZOE] (spoken):

He's definitely high

[CYNTHIA] (spoken):

I don't want you going to school high Connor!

[CONNOR] (spoken):

Perfect so then I won't go. Thanks mom.

[CYNTHIA]

Another masterful attempt ends with disaster

[LARRY] (spoken):

Interstate's already jammed!

[CYNTHIA]

Pour another cup of coffee

And watch it all crash and burn

[ZOE] (spoken):

Connor finished the milk!

[CYNTHIA]

It's a puzzle, it's a maze

I tried to steer through it a million ways

But each day's another wrong turn

[LARRY] (spoken):

I better head out

[ZOE] (spoken):

If Connor's not ready I'm leaving without him

[CYNTHIA].                      [HEIDI]

Does anybody

have a map?                 Anybody have a map?

Anybody maybe-

[CYNTHIA & HEIDI]

-happen to know how the hell to do this?

I don't know if you can tell

But this is me just pretending to know

[HEIDI]

So where's the map?

[CYNTHIA]

I need a clue

[HEIDI & CYNTHIA]

Cause the scary truth is

[CYNTHIA].                        [HEIDI]

I'm flying

blind                                    I'm flying blind

I'm flying

blind.                                   I'm flying-

[HEIDI & CYNTHIA]

I'm flying blind

And I'm making this up as I go

As I go
