You said at the party that I was too drunk I told you I liked you, you said sober up But why would I lie, it's so clear I'm in love with you A tense conversation, you're like someone else I say if I waited, could that maybe help? You told me that patience won't change how you felt for me So I'll stop being pretentious and loathing our friendship You taught me a lesson that love isn't precious It's not like the novels, no pride and prejudice at all So I'll just take a footnote in your life That you could take my body, every line I would write for you But a footnote will do, a footnote will do We ate at a restaurant, the host said we're cute They think we're a couple, they bought us some booze We share the Moscato and laugh cause it's true to me Oh and I'd be embarrassed if I were so pleased That everyone else sees what you never see We're perfect together, but I'll never be the one So I'll stop being pretentious and loathing our friendship You taught me a lesson that feelings are reckless It's just like the novels, side characters end up alone So I'll just take a footnote in your life That you could take my body, every line I would write for you But a footnote will do, a footnote will do A footnote will do A footnote will do A footnote will do A footnote will do A footnote will do A footnote will do
