Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - The End lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

Came in together, but you held me..

The process walking right through that door, at the entry

I can’t seem to remember, the lights were so bright

And the disco ball blurred in the turn of that night

But it was perfect, I was told the tux was starched and all

Grabbed the glass of punch, nervousness struck, stood by that wall

Arms folded, myself, I didn’t know yet

Until you came over, stood by me, you posted

You put your hand out like I was stranded

Tried to pull me on that dance floor, I stepped backwards

See I wasn’t ready yet, but you were my medicine..

Showed me that trust through that love that you held me with

Our backs against the wall as the DJ would spin

The soundtrack had changed as he played that mix…

Our lives flashed in front of us, just a glimpse

We were together and experience this..

Verse 2:

You finally pulled me up, I didn’t want to..

But you filled me up, from the bottom of my heart

And as we walked through that gymnasium that I’d been watching

Feeling like my chest would explode from my heartbeat

To the middle of the floor I almost panicked

You put your hand out and I fearfully grabbed it

The most beautiful thing that I’d seen on this planet

She laughed ‘cause you could tell that I didn’t know how to dance yet..

We started moving and I, didn’t know what I was doing

You whispered

“don’t you love music it’s such a gift and I’ll give it to ya, but you gotta use it”

I strayed, you brought me back in..

Trying to sneak a flask outside of that gym

She said “You don’t need that, look within.”

She hugged me, looked into my eyes, she gave me a kiss

And she said, “I can’t help you, if you don’t let me

You’re here to live just be, don’t forget me

The end of this dance you don’t want to regret me, live..

‘Cause tonight you’ll all be set free”

Verse 3:

“Last dance!” the Dj yelled

Looked into her eyes and I could see myself..

Slow motion, frozen, toast to this moment

Like there is no morning, like there is no morning

No emotions, you on my shoulder, me lead and you follow

As we circle the floor like the globe through this infinite mass..

Makes us seem so small

With you in my hand like the skyline holds the stars

Not letting go, but I can’t hold on

Fading through my fingertips, watching us fall..

I try to catch you with my arms

I would never take you for granted when I had you in my palms

To all I ever wanted, please play my song

And put the record to the needle, don’t ever touch that off switch

You are perfect, forget that prom dress

My God, seconds away from God, yes

Somebody turned the heat on in this party

Or we’re becoming one because I’m melting into your body..

One being, heart beating, universe falling

The ground split right between us and that concrete..

Separated my love, I could hear her calling

Separated, but I could hear her calling

Goodbye forever, never see you again
