Jesse drives into the Redwood forest and meets researchers Finn and Becca. During this song, she watches Finn ascend the Redwood tree while Becca communicates with him via radio.
[JESSE]
How did you get all those ropes in that tree?
[FINN, spoken]
Bow and arrow
[JESSE, sung]
What's that clip? Would you let me see?
[BECCA, spoken]
No
[JESSE, sung]
Are you climbing this tree
[JESSE & FINN]
To the top?
[JESSE]
All the way?
[FINN, spoken]
Yep
[JESSE, sung]
Wow, and all in one
[JESSE & BECCA]
Day
[BECCA, spoken]
He has to concentrate, shh
[JESSE, sung]
Why is he bouncing and how'd he just slide?
[BECCA, spoken]
Ascenders
[JESSE, sung]
Have those ropes that are broken, has anyone died?
[BECCA, spoken]
For real?
[JESSE, sung]
Can he really put all of his weight on one bough?
[BECCA, spoken]
Guess
[JESSE, sung]
Do you wish that I'd
[JESSE & BECCA]
Stop asking questions right now?
[BECCA, spoken]
Yes
[JESSE, sung]
Thought I'd run out of road
Is it possible there's a farther place to go?
I've gotta get up there, to that open air
Leave the world below
Could I hide in the sky
And unwind for a while?
And if time could stand still
What a ride, what a thrill
Would that be such a crime?
I wonder if they'd let me climb
(spoken)
Hey, Becca, would you and Finn ever consider letting me climb?
[BECCA, spoken]
Can you hold on the chatter for now, please?
[JESSE, spoken]
Of course
[BECCA, spoken]
Thanks
[JESSE, sung]
Hey, I'm in great shape, I run a mile every day
And this probably doesn't matter, but I used to do ballet
I can hold a tree pose, I can do the downward dog
'Cause I did yoga once at my old synagogue
And I don't have a fear of heights, I work out all the time
So what I'm really trying to say is
Would you ever let me climb?
[JESSE, BECCA]
Thought I'd run out of road, but it's possible (It's not possible)
There's a farther place to go (She has got to go)
I've gotta get up there, to that open air (You need some air)
Leave the world below
Could I hide (Denied) in the sky? (Step aside)
And unwind (Just, shh)
[JESSE & BECCA]
For a while?
[JESSE, BECCA]
And if time (Can you try) could stand still (To just chill?)
What a ride, what a thrill (Guess that she never will)
Would that be such a crime?
Could I leave it all behind? (She 'boutta cross the line)
What would it be like? (We don't have the time)
Would they ever let me (No, we'd never let her)
[JESSE & BECCA]
