The song is written by Joshua Salzman and Ryan Cunningham.

AUSTIN
Wow.
I let myself feel feelings I don’t usually allow.
Ah, it felt exciting.
It felt scary.
None of my vocabulary can do justice to the way I feel right now.

Did you see the look on that guy’s face
when we took the crap with us?

MARCY
“That’s not your wine!
I’m an angry waiter, bleh”

AUSTIN
(laughs)

I took off and sprinted straight through town.
When you got screwed,
I didn’t take it sitting down.
I did all sorts of things I wouldn’t usually do.
And it’s all because  of you.
Because of you.
Because of you.

MARCY
You just brought that restaurant to its knees.
Now the whole world knows that waiter’s not Chinese.
I didn’t have to pay them for my se won tofu.
And it’s all because of you.
Because of you.
Because of you.

AUSTIN
Because of you, I acted out of line.

MARCY
Because of you, we just stole some free boxed wine.

AUSTIN
Because of you I acted bravely

MARCY
And a little infantile.

MARCY & AUSTIN
Because of you I feel a way I have not felt in awhile.

AUSTIN
I can’t believe that I got in a drunken fight.

MARCY
You stood up for me,
But it was impolite.
Tonight I had a good time,
And that’s a little disconcerting.

AUSTIN
Tonight,
For just a moment,
I forgot that I was hurting.

Tonight I felt free.

MARCY
You know, I sort of felt that too.

AUSTIN
And it’s all because…

MARCY
It’s all because…
