What The Camera Doesn't Capture, We Share

-Max-

The steadiest sequence,
Spot, point, focus, smile, click,
With this rhythm I can capture happiness, sorrow, conflict, romance,
The entire world's just resting on my fingertips,
You'd think after all that's happened I'd have mastered this technique by now,
But after every click I'm still consumed by doubt,
I don't even know if my stuff's good in terms of high or low brow,
And here I thought I was a superhero not some old portly king bedridden by gout,
No...the worst part is that I'm thinking about this while in the middle of this huge fucking storm,
All my careless attention-seeking time-traveling crap has finally caught up with me,
Seeing it barrel down on the Bay reminds me I can't just rewind and hibernate in my dorm,
Tearing a hole in my life I can't patch with kind words over tea.

I have to face this,
I can't keep running anymore,
But I still feel trapped in time like a damsel in distress,
Chloe, why can't our life be like the Portland brochures,
Please just hold me in your arms and tell me none of this is real,
I'm sorry for ignoring you all these years,
I'm sorry for being with Warren without telling you how I feel,
I'm sorry for Rachel's death and not being able to dry your tears,
I'm sorry for turning my back on your when all you needed was a friend,
I'm sorry for putting you in a wheelchair and make you wish you were dead,
I'm sorry for only sending the occasional text when I should've seen you in person instead,

-Chloe-

Oh Max,
Don't apologize superhero you saved my life multiple times,
I mean you didn't ask for this power and this crazy tornado is just a reality tax,
I'm the one who be apologizing for your string of crimes,
You helped me pay off Frank, broke me out of a wheelchair, and brought my family back together,
You brought me closure with Rachel and stopped her psycho killer,
Max you're....you're so much more amazing than you realize,
You're my fucking hero Max.

-Max-

I'm sorry for everything Chloe,
I got you into this mess,
I just wanted things to get better believe me I was trying,
But all I did was risk your life and make everything worse,
Now there's a huge tornado about to destroy Arcadia Bay and all I can do is stand here helplessly,
Chloe I don't know what's real or not, or if I'm going insane, or if this is all another crazy fucked up dream but...I need you,
I did all of this for you because I can't imagine another day without you,
I don't care what else happens all I want is to be with you,
Chloe I...I love you.

-Chloe-

Max...
I can't keep holding you down,
You didn't go through all this shit for pictures Max you did it for me,
You're struggling to keep us afloat when all I'm just making you drown,
...Let me go Maxine...

-Max-

Chloe you're the only thing that matters to me,
I did all those things for you out of love,
There's no way I'm letting you go now so please Chloe don't...don't make me.

-Chloe-

Max everyone in Arcadia Bay is going to die if you save me again,
They don't deserve that fate Max, I do.

-Max-

I only want to be with you Chloe,
And I'm willing to pay any price for it...if you'll have me.

-Chloe-

...Forever...

-Max-

And ever...
