This is how we like to end
Takes a moment to begin
Time to leave the book behind
And turn the pages of the time
Plant the memories in a safe place
Till they grow into an embrace
When they share their separate leaves
Then the branches start to bend
This is how we like to end
This is how we like to live
Sometimes it takes so much to give
Sometimes we're broke until we learn
We blame the world until it turns
Oh is that how the magic started?
Or is this how we're broken hearted?
Is this what it takes to try?
We don't always get to win
This is how we like to end
So put your ..... in this cradle
And let it live until we're able
And its not up to you and me
It's just how we long to bend
This is how we long to end
This is how we long to breathe
And its not up to you and me
Takes a moment to begin
This is how we long to end
This is how we live in life
This is how we say goodbye
We can't say it for ourselves
So we turn to a friend
This is how we like to end
Takes a moment to begin
Time to leave the book behind
And turn the pages of the time
Plant the memories in a safe place
Till they grow into an embrace
When they share their separate leaves
Then the branches start to bend
This is how we like to end
This is how we like to live
Sometimes it takes so much to give
Sometimes we're broke until we learn
We blame the world until it turns
Oh is that how the magic started?
Or is this how we're broken hearted?
Is this what it takes to try?
We don't always get to win
This is how we like to end
So put your ..... in this cradle
And let it live until we're able
And its not up to you and me
It's just how we long to bend
This is how we long to end
This is how we long to breathe
And its not up to you and me
Takes a moment to begin
This is how we long to end
This is how we live in life
This is how we say goodbye
We can't say it for ourselves
So we turn to a friend
This is how we like to end
