[Verse 1]

They'll never hear us talking

Across a crowded room

'Cause we can speak in silence

You look at me, and it sounds like you

You talk about this feeling

As if it has no end

As if we're safe as houses

Like we know, what's around the bend

Like we won't ever start again


[Chorus]

What if I'm the prototype?

And then one day

You gotta change your mind

Trade me in for a new beginning

If that's your story, I'm lucky that I was in it

If the final page

Is after my time

I'll leave the stage

As the prototype


[Verse 2]

So if there's no forever

I know I'll fall apart

But I'll give myself mercy

For the way that I walked your heart

For the way that I played my part


[Chorus]

What if I'm the prototype?

And then one day

You gotta change your mind

Trade me in for a new beginning

If that's your story, I'm lucky that I was in it

If the final page

Is after my time

I'll leave the stage

As the prototype


[Instrumental break]


[Chorus]

What if I'm the prototype?

And then one day

You gotta change your mind

Trade me in for a new beginning

If that's your story, I'm lucky that I was in it

If the final page

Is after my time

I'll leave the stage

As the prototype
