How It Ends Lyrics

Why should all the nights we've known

Get thrown under the bus

How it ends doesn't change

How it was

To hell with the last image, and curse the coda

F.U. to the finish, 'cause although the

Slice of time we spend there's very little

It tends to skew our sense of

Every part from the start to the middle

Must the waltz before the wreck

Get swept under the rug

How it ends doesn't change

How it was

It's true that when a great ship hits a glacier

It's just high school physics, human nature

They'll say it sank quickly, duly noted

But what about those million other moments

When it floated

If it sailed on just like it had

For sure that'd be a plus

But how it ends doesn't change

How it was

And it was very good

Up the coasts, down the aisle

Not into the sunset

But for many miles

The same for every flame that's built to burn out

Every midnight train that's overturned now

Twisted path that comes full circle

And let's see, oh, for every single life

That's not eternal

Those soft lips, those sweethearts

They were ours, that was us

How it ends doesn't change

How it was
