Mattiel - How It Ends lyrics
[Mattiel - How It Ends lyrics]
I'm looking at you and I'm walking on ice
Take a big plunge, wouldn't that be nice?
Nice, cool water running through my hair
Never gonna see me coming up the rear
I got a chain link fence
Wrapped around my feet
Waiting at the bottom of the pavement sheet
I saw a flash of lightning
And my family and friends
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Paid for my ticket and didn't ask for more
Besides a Redwood casket and a crucifix
Loved by none and carried by sticks
Made a fool of myself for all of these years
You could see me fogging
Up the whole atmosphere
And I'm never gonna have
A second chance again
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
Never went to church
But I prayed a whole lot
So I guess I'm forgiven even if I'm not
And they can take back the old feelings
To relieve my debt
It's in the kitchen sink and the TV set
Apologies to everyone without a clue
I'll keep the gates open for the rest of you
And I can put a good word
In for all of my friends
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
And this is how it ends
Now that all of my debts are paid
I'll be laid to rest and
With the rest to lay
A few seats for the people coming after me
You can go back home 'cause
I set myself free
And God knows the gettin' was
Good for a while
Shovel that dirt to cover this pile
And take a good look at these dividends
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah) This is how it ends
Take a big plunge, wouldn't that be nice?
Nice, cool water running through my hair
Never gonna see me coming up the rear
I got a chain link fence
Wrapped around my feet
Waiting at the bottom of the pavement sheet
I saw a flash of lightning
And my family and friends
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Paid for my ticket and didn't ask for more
Besides a Redwood casket and a crucifix
Loved by none and carried by sticks
Made a fool of myself for all of these years
You could see me fogging
Up the whole atmosphere
And I'm never gonna have
A second chance again
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
Never went to church
But I prayed a whole lot
So I guess I'm forgiven even if I'm not
And they can take back the old feelings
To relieve my debt
It's in the kitchen sink and the TV set
Apologies to everyone without a clue
I'll keep the gates open for the rest of you
And I can put a good word
In for all of my friends
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
And this is how it ends
Now that all of my debts are paid
I'll be laid to rest and

And take a good look at these dividends
That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah) This is how it ends
