Anybody Have a Map? lyrics

HEIDI, spoken

Have you been writing those letters to yourself? "Dear Evan Hansen, this is gonna be a good day and here's why..."

EVAN, spoken

I started one.​

HEIDI, spoken

Those letters are important, honey. They're gonna help you build your confidence.​

EVAN, spoken

I guess.​

HEIDI, sung

Can we try to have an optimistic outlook, huh?

Can we buck up just enough to see the world won't fall apart?

Maybe this year, we decide

We're not giving up before we've tried

This year, we make a new start

HEIDI, spoken

Hey! I know! You can go around today and ask the other kids to sign your cast. How 'bout that?

EVAN, spoken

Perfect.​

HEIDI, spoken

I'm proud of you already.​

EVAN, spoken

Oh, good...

HEIDI, sung

Another stellar conversation for the scrapbook

Another stumble as I'm reaching for the right thing to say

I'm kinda coming up empty

Can't find my way to you

Does anybody have a map?

Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?

I don't know if you can tell

But this is me just pretending to know

So where's the map?

I need a clue

'Cause the scary truth is

I'm flying blind

And I'm making this up as I go

CYNTHIA, spoken

It's your senior year, Connor. You are not missing the first day.​

CONNOR, spoken

I already said I'd go tomorrow.​

LARRY, spoken

He doesn't listen. Look at him, he's probably high.​

ZOE, spoken

He's definitely high.​

CYNTHIA, spoken

I don't want you going to school high, Connor.​

CONNOR, spoken

Perfect, so then I won't go. Thanks, Mom!

CYNTHIA, sung

Another masterful attempt ends with disaster

LARRY, spoken

Interstate's already jammed.​

CYNTHIA, sung

Pour another cup of coffee

And watch it all crash and burn

ZOE, spoken

Connor finished the milk!

CYNTHIA, sung

It's a puzzle, it's a maze

I tried to steer through it a million ways

But each day's another wrong turn

LARRY, spoken

I better head out.​

ZOE, spoken

If Connor's not ready, I'm leaving without him.​

CYNTHIA

Does anybody have a map?

Anybody maybe—

HEIDI

Anybody have a map?

BOTH

—happen to know how the hell to do this?

I don't know if you can tell

But this is me just pretending to know

HEIDI

So where's the map?

CYNTHIA

I need a clue

BOTH

'Cause the scary truth is

CYNTHIA

I'm flying

​blind

I'm flying

​blind

HEIDI

I'm flying

​blind

I'm flying—

BOTH

I'm flying blind

And I'm making this up as I go

As I go
