Lyrics: I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall I could stay right here or disappear And nobody'd even notice at all I'm a creeper in a bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly Or pretend to check a text on my phone Everything felt fine When I was half of a pair And through no fault of mine There's no other half there Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party Forget how long its been I'm just Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party No, you can't come in I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave And picking at grout as I softly grieve I'm just Michael who you don't know Michael flying solo Michael in the bathroom by himself All by himself I am hiding But he's out there Just ignoring all our history Memories get erased And I'll get replaced With a newer cooler version of me And I hear a drunk girl Singing along to Whitney through the door "I wanna dance with somebody!" And my feelings sink Cause it makes me think Now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore Now it's just Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party I half regret the beers Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party As I choke back the tears I'll wait as long as I need 'Til my face is dry Or I'll just blame it on weed Or something in my eye I'm just Michael Who you don't know Michael flyin' solo Michael in the bathroom by himself Knock, knock, knock, knock They're gonna start to shout soon Knock, knock, knock, knock Ah, hell yeah, I'll be out soon Knock, knock, knock, knock It sucks he left me here alone Knock, knock, knock, knock Here in this teenage battle-zone Clang, clang, clang, clang I feel the pressure blowing up Bang, bang, bang, bang My big mistake was showing up Splash, splash, splash, splash I throw some water in my face And I am in a better place I go to open up the door But I can't hear knocking Anymore And I can't help but yearn For a different time And then I look in the mirror And the present is clear And there's no denying I'm just At a party Is there a sadder sight? Than mhm Michael in the bathroom at a party This is a heinous night I wish I stayed at home instead Watching cable porn Or wish I offed myself instead Wish I was never born I'm just Michael Who's a loner So he must be a stoner Rides a PT Cruiser God, he's such a loser Michael flying solo Who you think that you know Michael in the bathroom by himself All by himself All by himself When all you know about me Is my name Awesome party I'm so glad I came

@@oliviajacques741 Completely valid tbh! After watching the DEH movie, my opinions on having the og cast play them again has changed. Ben Platt playing 16 year old Evan felt REALLY awkward considering how almost everyone else looked like normal teenagers and he looked like a thirty year old. Now, all I want for a BMC movie/cast is to have a cast that has a theatrical background/ very inclined to musical theatre. What I noticed in the DEH movie is that Ben Platt's acting felt very broadway and the other's weren't matching the broadway feeling.

So crisp! Beautiful vocals! Honestly goals

[@DevoteaSings]

He really threw that 'aAm' riff at 1:37 even though he didn't need to. Okay, just style on me.

[@sofstanganelli]

that moment when you're a BMC fan, a Micheal Stan, a Stranger Things fan and a Dustin Stan...... lets just say this is ✨PERFECT✨

[@betterlatethannAva]

AGREED

[@paulina1996]

This song suits him well!! He should play as Michael in BMC

[@katevand]

2:10 f-ing chills.

[@sagebreeding2123]

Oh my goodness! Those belts and riffs are really good and healthy. Those lows notes and when he starts entering his second passage......MMMM! It's so beautiful.

[@abbyfleiss2882]

Oh my gosh. I'm... speechless. My second (only to Tom Holland) favorite actor and my favorite song of all time. Oh boy. Wow. Oh my gosh. I'm sorry what?

[@sarabarney6182]

OMG I DON'T REALLY WATCH STRANGER THINGS BUT GATEN! HIS VOICEEEEEE IS SO BEAUTIFUL YASSSSS 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💜💜💜💛💜💜💛💜💜💜💛💛💛💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is such a heart breaking song. I've watched other videos of it being performed, and it feels like every one has gone through this pain personally. Also, 2020 was hard on everyone, and we were all pretty much stuck in the bathroom.

[@nicoletrudell2065]

Wow this is impressive, he sings this nearly as well as George Salazar. Getting excited to see him in DEH.

[@purpleperc1012]

Nearly lol George voice doesn’t really scream broadway they shouldn’t have casted him for such an important piece tbh

[@indie_pie]

I could relate to Michael, this one time my best friend invited me to a party where I literally knew nobody and then she freaking ditched me

[@curiouslystrongsinging]

This is the first I've heard him sing since his voice changed. He's great.

[@MaiyaaG]

Those aren’t dislikes. They are likes from the upside-down

[@sophievienne5986]

“yearn” at the end cured every mental illness i’ve ever had

[@lillyisabelle7665]

theatre kid and stranger things stan ✌️

[@alxm4436]

SAME ✌️

[@charliecook59]

SAME

[@alexanderrichter507]

His voice is so angelic! And that control!! Holy smokes dude!! Hope he gets a singing role sometime in the future once Stranger Things is over!! 👏👏

[@otterlove-ph5sc]

I love him so much and the fact that he’s a tester kid makes me so happy. Literally my favorite person ever.

[@katelynsanchez1525]

The “half of a pair” part was reallyyyy good lol

[@levismith5442]

Gaten! This was absolutley incredible! Your vocals are amazing!
