What Have We Got to Lose? Lyrics by Zina Goldrich

Breathe (Original Cast Recording)

2021

[VIVIAN]
Let's raise one more glass
To the life that we shared
To the bond that we broke
And the will we prepared
And the money we made
And the dreams that we dared to—
(spoken) God, how did we end up here?
[CHARLES, spoken]
Remember where we started?
1992, a laundromat near NYU
I still had my first apartment
[VIVIAN, spoken]
I still had my first nose
[CHARLES]
Why must this be an uphill climb?
Must there be rеason for the rhyme?
You're nicе, I'm nice—it's dinnertime
What have you got to lose?
[VIVIAN, spoken]
Well...
[CHARLES]
It might be fun, it might be sweet
And it would make my life complete
My car is parked across the street
What have you got to lose?
Haven't you seen romantic movies?
Isn't this how they start?
Clean the lint out of the dryer
Borrow some gain, and lose your heart
[VIVIAN, spoken]
Poetry major?
[CHARLES]
(spoken) Law school
(sung) What better way to show I care?
And I can see you've things to wear
Peter Luger, P. J. Clarke—you choose
Don't make me be in this movie alone
Let's have an adventure like you've never known
What do you say?
[VIVIAN]
What have we got to lose?
[CHARLES]
Twenty-four months since that first steak
Time for a brand new step to take
[VIVIAN]
You can't afford this
[CHARLES]
It's a fake
What have we got to lose?
[VIVIAN, spoken]
Charles...
[CHARLES, spoken]
I'll get you a diamond as soon as I pass the bar
[VIVIAN, spoken]
I love this one
[CHARLES]
Upper East Side, a classic six
[VIVIAN]
I'll settle for a job that sticks
[CHARLES]
Two girls, one boy, then twins for kicks
[VIVIAN, spoken]
Are you Amish?
[CHARLES]
What have we got to lose?
[BOTH]
Haven't you seen romantic movies?
Isn't this how they go?
[CHARLES]
Work becomes steady
And family is ready to grow
Made junior partner yesterday
When comes the family—Who can say?
Trying's the fun part anyway
(spoken) We can get a bigger apartment
A litter of dogs!
(VIVIAN chuckles.)
We can finally afford the fertility treatments
(sung) What do you say?
[BOTH]
What have we got to lose?
[CHARLES, spoken]
You in?
[VIVIAN, spoken]
I'm in
