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
