Afternote

Don't let me be an afternote
In a story you'll forget
'Cause what if I'm where the story goes?
Maybe I can be the ending

You slip from me by the day
Or is that my mind's cruel game?
It's just a question
Don't want the answer
I want to make you happy, but I can't

'Cause baby, every night
And every day
It always ends the same
So, baby

Don't let me be an afternote
In a story you'll forget
'Cause what if I'm where the story goes?
Maybe I can be the ending
Don't let me be just an anecdote
A funny line that you tell your friends, oh, no
I may be wrong, but I have to know
Maybe I can be the ending

I'm coming round, baby, don't say no
Maybe I can be the ending

'Cause when you hold me like a child
I haven't felt such innocence in a while
It's not that you would
It's that you could break me if you tried

So, baby, every night
And every day
You take my breath away
Oh, baby

Don't let me be an afternote
In a story you'll forget
'Cause what if I'm where the story goes?
Maybe I can be the ending
Don't let me be just an anecdote
A funny line that you tell your friends, oh, no
I may be wrong, but I have to know
Maybe I can be the ending

I'm coming round, baby, don't say no
Maybe I can be the ending, ending

Don't let me be an afternote
In a story you'll forget
'Cause what if I'm where the story goes?
Maybe I can be the ending
Don't let me be just an anecdote
A funny line that you tell your friends, oh, no
I may be wrong, but I have to know
Maybe I can be the ending

I'm coming round, baby, don't say no
Maybe I can be the ending
The ending, the end
