The End Lyrics

The flames are lapping quietly at my toes

Glowing tongues from the embers

If I didn't know they'd burn me

I would let them taste my skin

But I know how they love

And the bite behind their grin

We found comfort in the chaos

And weathered out the storm

When hope was all we had to sip on

Seven hundred thirty waves

Breaking on the shore

We never thought we'd make it this far

Fear has been long behind the wheel

Fueled by many nights alone

It was hard enough to wake up

Harder still to sleep

Knowing what was waiting in the seams

The sun became a stranger to me

A friend whom I love but I never see

The most we could claim

Was the absence of rain

The occasional star through the trees

You can't expect to go home after so long away

Walk in and find it exactly the same

The garden's gone dry and there's dust on the panes

Still you will wonder how everything changed

All I know

Is that it's hard

To say goodbye
