Footnote

Morning coffee at the rise

Yeah, you caught me by surprise

When you told me you were moving to New York

Crying on your basement couch

In a few you're leaving town

Don't think this is working out

Tell me you believe in this love

I promise I will keep in touch

Empty promises we can't keep

But I know what you want

Know what you want, yeah

I don't wanna be a footnote of your life

Just some words at the bottom of the page

I'm not trying to be the one that could have been

'Cause I need you, yeah, I need you

I don't wanna be a footnote of your life

Just some words at the bottom of the page

I'm not trying to be the one that could have been

'Cause I need you, yeah, I need you

Conversations we avoid

Taking final polaroids

Pretending that the summer will never end

Watch the ink drip down the page

Fight this coming of age

Still remember how we fell in love

Tell me you believe in us

I promise I will keep in touch

Empty promises we can't keep

But I know what you want

I know what you want, yeah

I don't wanna be a footnote of your life

Just some words at the bottom of the page

I'm not trying to be the one that could have been

'Cause I need you, yeah, I need you

I don't wanna be a footnote of your life

Just some words at the bottom of the page

I'm not trying to be the one that could have been

'Cause I need you, yeah, I need you

I wanna be the next chapter that you write

The afterward who's with you till the end

'Cause I just wanna be the one who always stayed

'Cause I need you, yeah, 'cause I need you

I don't wanna be a footnote of your life

Just some words at the bottom of the page

I'm not trying to be the one that could have been

'Cause I need you, yeah, I need you

I don't wanna be a footnote of your life

Just some words at the bottom of the page

I'm not trying to be the one that could have been

'Cause I need you, yeah, I need you

'Cause I need you

'Cause I need you
