This is like a cute indie rom-com in song form.

[@StephanCasey]

Ben is amazing but we have to give Ephie some credit too. She brought the energy to this song!

[@julieiacovelli9064]

how does he riff like that how can someone's voice even do that I just????

[@luciesmith147]

Why haven't Alan Menken wrote a Disney movie for Ben to be the prince cause this needs to happen like now who agrees with me

[@leilanecozzi]

this has to happen ! i have to see him again doing something new.

[@melodydyk6170]

This is a necessary thing. This can't not ever be a thing. Please

[@i.s.s.y7998]

Yes! And for Jeremy Jordan to be his princess

[@mollymyers4173]

Are you saying Davey Jacob is not a Disney prince?

[@pipergrace4267]

I agree!!!! We need this! I’d hate to suggest another remake but Ben would be an amazing prince Eric and they could write new songs specially for him to riff

[@nataliaquevedo4153]

She’s so cute! Like I love Ben but let’s talk about Ephie!!! She sounds great and she’s adorable.

[@graceislate2637]

I too would be freaking out if Ben Fankhauser sang this song to me.

[@arianacastaluccio-vilani9442]

The deeper i get into these videos of ben and jeremy singing the angrier i get about finding out about newsies sooooo late

[@madisonavenue]

God his acting 😍 It kills me that she’s not looking at him for most of the song girl TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

[@unusannusfan9563]

[@jazmynbloomfield-nishimura7640]

VERSUS BOY Girl, you're freaking Just kissed you and you liked it Is it so hard for you that you're so easily delighted And though it wasn't magical Maybe not fantastical And maybe he just caught you unaware But that ineffable feeling you had when you were reeling With the animated bluebirds and love songs CHORUS: Take a shot in the dark Fan the fire from this spark Live your life now before it starts to sink Gotta do what your heart says Got to finish what you started Take a running jump from this brink And if you're still scared Hope you don't mind my kisses while you think VERSUS GIRL: Boy, you're freaking out She kissed you and you kissed back Are you so surprised with those wide eyes Now aren't you glad you risked that And though it wasn't magical Maybe not fantastical But maybe she just caught you unaware But the ineffable feeling you had when you were reeling When Marvin Gaye proclaimed "let's get it on" CHORUS: Take a shot in the dark Fan the fire from this spark Live your life now before it starts to sink Gotta do what your heart says Got to finish what you started Take a running jump from this brink And if you're still scared Hope you don't mind my kisses while you think BRIDGE: I'm all in But I'm scared it's real though when I fall so fast But then s/he'll know I'm all in But I'm scared because we're so stuck in the past With all the scuffs and scars and dings and dents Did we manage to cling to our innocence *Boy you're freaking out ^Girl you're freaking out Are we seeking doubt ^Well I'm all in *I'm all in ^I'm all in tonight *Well I'm all in ^I'm all in *I'm all in tonight ^Well I'm all in *I'm all in ^I'm all in tonight *I'm all in ^I'm all in I'm all in tight I'm all in ^I'm all in *I'm all in

The account name is a lie... this song is in D major

[@SongsintheKeyofF]

It's because my name is F. Funnily enough, I rarely write in F. But I love you attention to detail.

[@caitlinmarie2779]

DOES ANYONE HAVE CHORDS OR SHEET MUSIC BY NOW

[@SongsintheKeyofF]

Caitlin Marie I do. Haha. Email me at [e-mail]

I don’t know why but Ephie reminds me of Barrett Weed 😂

[@irissanderson1480]

what is this song originally from????

[@SongsintheKeyofF]

Iris Sanderson it's not from anything. I wrote it a while back and dusted it off for this concert. I'm so happy people like it.

[@irissanderson1480]

is there anywhere I could buy a recording of it?

[@thisguy7790]

Lol.. I've been looking for the shows soundtrack for like an hour... 😥

[@MattandCarrieJourneys]

wait I'm confused are they lovers who kissed other people and are now kissing each other?

[@SongsintheKeyofF]

Well Matt, if you really want to know, they're both talking to themselves.

[@MattandCarrieJourneys]

@@SongsintheKeyofF Ahhhhh that makes so much sense!!! This song is amazing!
