Female and Male Frantic, high-tempo contemporary musical theatre patter duet with driving piano ostinato, aggressive strings, and sharp percussive hits; overlapping rapid-fire lyrics that feel like a marital fight spiraling out of control, with the male vocal repeatedly cutting off mid-phrase as he “disappears,” music glitching or dropping out briefly before a slightly altered version of him re-enters in a different rhythmic feel; recurring shouted hook “When are you from?” building intensity each time; tempo accelerates as multiple emotional versions of him collide musically, harmonies clashing and stacking; ends in a full orchestral surge that abruptly clears beneath a sustained, defiant belt from the female lead: “No more Henry’s, no more vanishing — it’s time for me to disappear,” landing in a dramatic, breathless silence.

Lyrics
[woman]
You said you’d stay
You said you’d try
[man]
Clare I’m out of time
[woman]
Oh babe you have no idea
[man]
It’s happening again
[woman]
It’s always happening again
[man]
I don’t control it
[woman]
You don’t control anything
[man]
That’s not fair
[woman]
Neither is loving a man
Who leaves mid-sentence
[man]
It pulls me
[woman]
It erases me
[man]
I don’t mean to go
[woman]
You always mean to stay
⸻
[man]
Clare I’m out of time
[woman]
I’ve been out of time for years
[man]
It’s starting
[woman]
It never stopped
[man]
My heart’s racing
[woman]
Mine’s exhausted
[man]
I’ll be back
[woman]
That’s the problem
⸻
[man – urgent]
I’m slipping
[woman – rapid fire]
Through what
Through when
Through me
Through us
Through vows
Through trust
[man]
It’s not a choice
[woman]
Neither was falling for you
⸻
[man]
Clare I’m out of—
[woman – cutting him off]
Say it again
Say the line
Say the curse
Say the rhyme
Out of time
Out of place
Out of body
Out of grace
You’re out of clocks
Out of doors
Out of present tense
I’m out of patience
⸻
[man – softer]
Don’t do this
[woman]
I am doing this
[man]
I love you
[woman]
Which version
[man]
All of them
[woman]
That’s too many
⸻
[man]
Clare I’m out of time
[woman – blazing now]
No Henry
You’re addicted to the leaving
You’re allergic to the staying
You’re fluent in goodbye
You call it physics
You call it fate
You call it gravity
I call it late
⸻
[man – shaking]
I don’t want to go
[woman]
Then don’t
[man]
I can’t—
[woman – over him, rhythm accelerating]
Out of time
Out of breath
Out of birthdays
Out of death
Out of fights
Out of bed
Out of words you never said
You’re out of now
Out of here
Out of husband
Out of year
⸻
[man – fading]
Clare—
[woman – final strike]
Oh babe
You have no idea
I’ve been out of time
Since the first time
You left
