Could take me on

There's a plan for us

A hand divine

The waiting was worth it

Now you're my wife

We've been taking our time

Doing this right

Tonight I'm not gonna

Just kiss you good night

Play the rest.

You, the song my heart sings

Awake, love

I want you to know

We're making love

Deeper than our bodies

You are written on my soul

Your eyes like the dawn

You are beauty

The touch of your skin

Consumes me

You shine like the sun

Pure and lovely

One, two, three!

Set me as a seal

Upon your heart

Our love stronger than death

Come on.

Flashes of fire

With purest desire

The waters will never quench

Awaken love, awaken love

No riches or power appeal

All will find

You are truly alive

In love as it was

Meant to be

This is love as it was

Meant to be

Come on, sing it out!

One, two, three, four!

Oh

Oh

Come on.

Oh

Love is the power that heals

Oh

Oh

You know it.

Oh

Love is the power that heals

- Hey, Daddy.

- Hey. Hey.

- Hey.

- How did it go?

It was great.

- Welcome home, Jed.

- Sir.

- Good to see you.

- Thank you. Yes, sir.

- How'd he do?

- Oh, he's fine. He's fine.

He's up there asleep.

We had a blast.

Oh, good.

I'm gonna go.

Hey, Jed, don't wake him up.

I won't.

- Thank you again.

- Yeah. Yes, sir.

Anytime. All right,

I better be going.

All right.

Good night, Ray.

I wish my dad could be here

to see all this.

He'd be proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

So now what?

Jed.

Enjoy it.

All this I tested by wisdom,

and I said,

"I am determined to be wise."

Shut the door.

But this was beyond me.

What more can the

king's successor do

than what has already been done?

Okay, I'm gonna do it.

I'm doing it. I'm doing it.

All right.

Hey.

Can I help you?

Well, you actually

already have, Jed. I just, uh...

I don't smoke.

And I definitely don't sleep

with groupies, so just...

Actually, I heard you were

really religious, and so...

- I take it you're not.

- I'm spiritual.

Isn't everybody?

You just have no idea, do you?

About what?

You know, normally,

I would be really,

really offended,

but you are just so cute.

And now I get to have a secret,

and that's always fun, isn't it?

Okay. It's good to meet you,

whatever your name is.

This whole thing is great.

No, I know. I just

thought I'd introduce...

Come on!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Take your words and overtures

Your jokes, so green, those

Let them sink into your drink

Tonight I want to close

Underneath my overcoat

Yes, underneath my chest

A hurricane is shaking

And I'm faking

To get undressed

Take me, shake me

And break me into two

A million little pieces

I'll spread all over you

I wanna fly up to the roof

And come down when I'm ready

I want my head down to my toes

To feel like confetti

Whoo!

Have you heard of Shelby Bale?

I've heard of her

but never seen her.

Well, you're gonna be doing

a lot more of both.

She's your new opener.

She'll make your worries

Run away

They're going up in flames

Let yourself do what you want

Without an ounce of shame

'Cause when the morning

Sun comes

You'll have to say goodbye

So come and claim your throne

Be king tonight

Take me, shake me

And break me into two

A million little pieces

I find more bitter than death

the woman who is a snare.

You're welcome.

Whose heart is a trap,

whose hands are chains.

To feel like confetti, yeah

I'm just out of control

Whoo

- Hey.

- Hey. Hey, buddy.

- Oh. How are you?

- Good.

- Good.

- This is a nice surprise.

- Did the show get canceled?

- I wish.

I fly out tomorrow

morning actually.

I just had to come home,

you know?

- Do you wanna be in my band?

- That's what I wanna do.

That's why I came home.

Go upstairs and get

that ready, all right?

Thank you.

Yeah, I just wanted to be

with my wife, you know?

Don't start

what you can't finish.

Nap time?

No, I'm afraid

we've outgrown nap time.

I miss it.

I'm exhausted.

- Tonight, I promise.

- Tonight.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

Couldn't hold out

for another couple weeks, huh?

- How long this time?

- Three months.

Stan added Shelby Bale

to the tour.

- Who?

- She's just this singer

with a cult following, and I get

her fans, she gets my fans,

and we book a lot more shows

and make more money.

Do you need more money, or fans?

- It's not just that, Rose.

- Then what?

I'm helping people.

I know it sounds stupid,

but in my own way, I am.

Look, I get e-mails

and people coming up to me

saying that they...

I'm helping their life

make sense.

They were about to give up

and they heard my songs.

People are looking for stuff,

Rose. Meaning, hope, God.

I don't tell them,

they're not gonna hear.

Jed.

Your biggest fan is upstairs

and he needs you more

than God does.

Bring him and come with me.

So he can sleep

on buses and jets?

Getting dragged

from hotel to hotel?

What kind of life is that?

It's not a life, Rose.

I'm talking about three months.

Which will become a year.

You won't have a reason

to tell Stan no.

You'll have me to play groupie.

What is that supposed to mean?

Feels like you don't

come home for me anymore.

It's like you come home for...

Let me fix that.

Please, I'm trying to fix that.

If you come with me,

I'll see you every day.

I'll see Ray.

We'll spend time together.

- Please.

- It's not just Ray, Jed.

What?

Your dad has a dead bear

in his living room.

I'm sure he's gonna be fine.

- Please.

- No, no.

He's not doing well, Jed.

Daddy, do you wanna be

in my band now?

Sorry.

Yeah, buddy.

Yeah, come on.

All right, let's go.

Drum solo!

I got blisters on my fingers.

All right, Ringo.

It sounds good.

Rose.

Rose.

Ray's asleep.

I fell asleep.

Yeah, you did.

Okay.

Rose.

Rose.

When are you gonna stop

being so rude?

I'm Shelby.

I know.

You know now.

Why didn't you just tell me

who you were?

Kindness.

I was being nice.

How is that being nice?

For a moment,

you felt wanted and...

It's a good feeling, isn't it?

Okay, unless turning me down

was unpleasant.

If it was, I'm really sorry.

You can let me know

how to make it up to you.

Hello, you've reached Rose.

Please leave me a message.

Hey, babe, it's me.

I just wanted to call

and say that I love you,

and that I miss you

and I'm thinking about you.

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

And all I wanna be

Is with you

All I wanna be is with you

There is nothing that's new

Under the sun

I ain't doing nothing

That hasn't been done

All the lies be truth to me

When all I want to be

Is with you

All I wanna be is with you

All I wanna be is with you

I want your love

I want your touch

All I wanna be is with you

All I wanna be is with you

I miss you more

With every mile

I go to bed just to dream

Of your smile

You're a garden bloom

In a thousand hues

All I wanna be is with you

And with every goodbye

It gets harder to try

When all hope seems lost

The heart just dies

But there's life

If we see this through

And all I want to be
