The End

Ellie Goulding · Other Songs - Ellie Goulding

We've only ever kissed lying down

We've only ever touched

When there's no one else around

I can be elusive if you want me to

I'm not being intrusive

I just wish I knew the truth



As to why

I wait for you

Longer than the average person would

And why

I think about you

More than I think one should



Our body's fit together like a makeshift puzzle

And It's clear to see why you puzzle me

when you turn your frame

And you whisper my name

As though I am a burden



Cause I'm making up for last time

And I'm making up for you

And I'm waking up from last night

And I'm waking up with you

So what's new

So what's new

So what's new



And I know

and I know

this will happen again and again

so don't let us pretend that this is the end

this is the end

this is the end



I am at your house

So I belong to you for now

Trying to impress you

But lord I don't know how

I can be a statue if you want me to

I'm not being difficult I just need to know the truth



As to why

I'm wanting you

And I would take you away if I could

And why I'm still here

It's something I still haven't understood



Our hands press together like pieces of paper

But they're always blank when I hold your hand

And it gave you a fright

When I stayed the night

Cause you gave yourself to me



And I'm making up for last time

And I'm making up for you

And I'm waking up from last night

And I'm waking up with you

So what's new

So what's new

So what's new



Our hands press together like pieces of paper

But they're always blank when I hold your hand

And it gave you a fright

When I stayed the night

Cus you gave yourself to me



And I'm making up for last time

And I'm making up for you

And I'm waking up from last night

And I'm waking up with you

So what's new

So what's new

So what's new

So what's new
