Waving Through A Window – I’ve learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you’ve learned, because you’ve learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?
‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I’m waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I’m watch, watch, watching people pass
I’m waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn’t rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you’ve learned, because you’ve learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?
‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I’m watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?
When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It’s like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?
‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I’m watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh)
Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
About Ben Platt

It is most likely that you have seen him play the character of Benji Applebaum in the comedy film “Pitch Perfect” (2012). Ben has always been passionate about acting in the theatre since he was very young and he made his acting debut at the age of nine when he played Winthrop Paroo in ‘The Music Man’ where he played the role of Winthrop Paroo. A year ago, he made his Broadway debut as the lead in ‘The Book of Mormon’, which opened on Broadway in 2014. It is evident that both critics and fans were exceptionally satisfied with the performance he gave in the musical “Dear Evan Hansen.”. This musical which made its debut on Broadway in 2015 has been adapted for the off-Broadway stage. The musical remained in business for two years after Ben won a ‘Tony Award’ for ‘Best Actor in a Musical’ for his performance in the play “Dear Evan Hansen.”. In addition to the stage, Ben has appeared in several films, including Pitch Perfect 2 (2015), Ricki and the Flash (2015), Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016), and The Female Brain (2017). A few years ago, he landed the roles of Drunk Parents and Run This Town for the The Comedy Network, as well as appearing on Will and Grace (2017) which was a popular show.
He first fell in love with theatre and music at a young age, when he was only six years old. Having become obsessed with theatre, he later stated that he just wanted to attend his class as many times as possible, rehearsing as much as he could, in order to perform as many times as he could.
This performance was made at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in 2002 with the production of ‘The Music Man.’ He played ‘Winthrop Paroo’ in ‘The Music Man’ when he was just nine years of age.
During the age of 11, he became a part of a national tour of ‘Caroline, or Change’ that ran for four months, but he had only a brief role on the show, which lasted only five minutes. “Caroline, or Change” (2004) was the film in which he played Noah Gellman.
During the regional tour of ‘Dead End’ in 2005, he was cast as Philip by the cast of the show. When he was 17, he played the role of Jean Valjean in the play of ‘Les Misérables’ on the Hollywood stage.
He was then cast in a stage play titled ‘The Power of Duff’ where he played the role of Ricky in the production tour of 2012. His other role that same year was playing Chris Thurser in the TV series, The Black Suits.
His early career was marked by the role of Claude Bukowski in ‘Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical’. It was produced by Columbia University and was his first significant role in an international production.
