[Cady]
I was alone a lot
Mostly observing things
Like hyenas and migrations
And who cares?
Now I have all these friends
I'm never by myself
I mean, look at all those people downstairs
More is always better
More people know my name
I have more shoes
More is always better
Cause when you have less
You have more to lose
Wait, that’s confusing
[Aaron]
See, I don't mind alone
Sometimes alone is good
‘Cause time to think is in short supply
[Cady]
You haven't been alone
Try kenya with one phone
Almost no people
Just like animals and sky
Do you know what I had more of?
Stars
So many stars at night
But here there's so much light
I see them less now
Plus, I'm always cold because the air-conditioned air
Though in fairness, that could be how I dress now
Whatever, I look cuter
It worked, like pretending I needed a tutor
[Aaron]
Pretending?
[Cady]
Yeah, I pretended to be bad at math to get you to talk to me
[Aaron]
Why didn’t you just talk to me?
[Cady]
Because of Regina
Because you were her property
[Aaron]
Her property?
[Cady]
No, shut up, not her property
[Aaron]
Don’t tell me to shut up
You are, like, a clone of Regina
[Cady]
What? No!
I am more, I am better
And no one likes you more
Not anyone, not her
More is always better
Don't look at me that way
What girl would you prefer?
[Aaron]
I would prefer the girl you were
Not who you're trying to be
You think this works with me?
Well, you thought wrong
Looking at this place
I see you trying to erase
What is best about yourself just to belong
You say more is always better
But there is less of you than there was before
So, if more is always better
Then you should have thought it through a bit more
[Cady]
I should have thought it through a bit
You know what I had more of?
Stars
