Until the Last Page

Does it work out?

Do I get there?

Do we stay together?

Do I finally get what I wanted?

Don't tell me.

Everybody wants the last page first,

Wants the answer before they find out what it's worth.

Will the money come?

Will she stay? Will I still want this life When I get

there someday?

I used to need an answer

Before I'd make a move.

Funny— I knew exactly where I was going.

And missed half the view.

So hide the last page.

Let tomorrow wait.

For once I don't need

To know what's coming my way.

Don't tell me how it ends,

I'm finally enjoying the middle.

Don't tell me who I lose,

What I find, Or how the pieces fit.

Maybe I win. Maybe I don't.

Maybe the whole damn story bends.

Whatever happens next— DON'T TELL ME HOW IT ENDS.

Don't tell me if she calls tomorrow,

Don't tell me which door opens next,

Don't tell me if the thing I'm chasing Turns out

worth the fucking stress.

I want the phone to ring

And not know who's there.

I want a road I've never driven And enough gas not to

care. Maybe uncertainty Was never the problem.

Maybe I was just

Too busy fearing it.

Don't tell me how it ends!

Let the damn thing breathe.

I spent too many years Demanding guarantees.

No spoilers. No prophecy.

No fortune-telling friends. I'm finally enjoying the middle— DON'T TELL ME HOW

IT ENDS.

Maybe I get rich.

Maybe I get lost.

Maybe love stays. Maybe it walks.

Maybe everything I'm building

Falls apart and starts again.

You know what?

I still don't wanna know.

If you somehow had the answer...

If you knew exactly where all this goes...

Keep it to yourself.

I'm having a good time.

DON'T TELL ME HOW IT ENDS!

Let tomorrow stay unknown!

Let the piano lose its mind While the whole damn orchestra goes!

I don't need the last page!

I don't need to know who wins!

For the first time in my life— I'M FINALLY ENJOYING THE MIDDLE!

And if you already know how my story ends— Don't.

Tell. Me.
