A two-tonne weight around my chest feels like

It just dropped a twenty-storey height

If there was anyone to ever get through this life

With their heart still intact, they didn't do it right.

The last time I felt your weight on my chest, you said

"We didn't get it right, but, love, we did our best"

And we will again

Moving on in time and taking more from everything that ends.

And all things end

All that we intend is scrawled in sand

Or slips right through our hands

And just knowing that everything will end

Should not change our plans

When we begin again

We begin again.

I have never known a silence like the one fallen here

Never watched my future darken in a single tear

I know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault

But we've gone long enough to know this isn't what we want

And that isn't always bad

When people say that something is forever

Either way, it ends.

And all things end

All that we intend is scrawled in sand

Or slips right through our hands

And just knowing that everything will end

Should not change our plans

When we begin again

We begin again

We begin again, darling.

And all things end

All that we intend is built of sand

Slips right through our hands

And just knowing that everything will end

Won't change our plans

When we begin again.

And all things end

All that we intend is scrawled in sand

Or slips right through our hands

And just knowing that everything will end

Should not change our plans

When we begin again.
