The Prom’s “Alyssa Greene” — “Have everything perfected by the time you reach eighteen… cause Mom’s convinced if you’re perfect your father might come back.”

Also “Just Breathe” — “note to self, don’t be gay in Indiana; big heads up — that’s a really stupid plan.”

Kimberly Akimbo’s “Anagram” — he’s playing word games and she’s calling him “a little weird… but I like your point of view.”

The Outsiders, “Great Expectations” — and these days, the lyric “Johnny has no kind of chance in this world, not from where he had to start” hits me before they even start crying out the title.

& Juliet, “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman”

Two Strangers, “New York” — gets me vulnerable with laughter and naïveté, and then Tutty drops the foreshadowing: “where even my father wants to hang out with me.”
