  1. [Lyric] Who am I Ben Platt Cover (Ben Platt)

    They think that man is me Without a second glance The stranger they have found This man could be my chance Why should I save his hide? Why should I right this wrong?

  2. [Lyric] ​king of the world pt. 2 (Ben Platt)

    [Verse] So, he smiled back And walked your way Now all your heartbreaks washed away The sea is jealous of the blue Inside the eyes you look into And he tells you you're the king of the world That's just love on the Titanic When you think you found forever 'Cause it seems like you can never get enough But then you panic You confuse the flares for...Learn More

  5. [Lyric] ​dance with you (Ben Platt)

    [Verse 1] Why do I complicate it? I'm always overthinking everything You must be so frustrated ’Cause I told you that I like you And I said I need more time [Pre-Chorus] What am I waiting for? Is it really so dangerous? Or are we dancing around Dancing around Around, around the obvious? [Chorus] 'Cause if I'm gonna dance I wanna dance with you If...Learn More

  6. [Lyric] ​childhood bedroom (Ben Platt)

    [Verse 1] Worrying works in mysterious ways Sneakin' up on me when I think that I'm safe But I know a feeling, it's sort of a place A loophole when I need to escape [Pre-Chorus] Everytime I wanna get a little peace of mind All I gotta do is close my eyes And suddenly I'm- [Chorus] Dancin' in my childhood bedroom Fallin' right back into the way it...Learn More
