The End Has Only Begun
Lifehouse · Lifehouse (2005)
We walk in your footsteps
Though I've had my ups and downs
and I'll stand in the silence
Until I figure it out
One might fall and the other will stand
and one might give where the other won't bend
The night is bright as the sun
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna look back
Never gonna know where we would have ended up at
The end has only begun
So stop counting the hours
Live out in the world
Cause I've been chasing the answers
and they don't want to be found
One might fall and the other will stand
and one might give where the other won't bend
The night is as bright as the sun
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna look back
Never gonna know where we would have ended up at
The end has only begun
Well the day
Tonight feels like a million miles away
and these times just won't change
Life just stays the same
I'd give anything to see the light of day
Cause I've been too far away
To hear you whispering
They say one might fall and the other will stand
and one might give where the other won't bend
The night is as bright as the sun
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna look back
Never gonna know where we would have ended up at
The end has only begun
Well the day
Tonight feels like a million miles away
and these times just won't change
Life just stays the same
I'd give anything to see the light of day
What you do
No one can decide it's up to you
and who you are is what you choose
These times when the world falls apart
Make us who we are
Though I've had my ups and downs
and I'll stand in the silence
Until I figure it out
One might fall and the other will stand
and one might give where the other won't bend
The night is bright as the sun
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna look back
Never gonna know where we would have ended up at
The end has only begun
So stop counting the hours
Live out in the world
Cause I've been chasing the answers
and they don't want to be found
One might fall and the other will stand
and one might give where the other won't bend
The night is as bright as the sun
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna look back
Never gonna know where we would have ended up at
The end has only begun
Well the day
Tonight feels like a million miles away
and these times just won't change
Life just stays the same
I'd give anything to see the light of day
Cause I've been too far away
To hear you whispering
They say one might fall and the other will stand
and one might give where the other won't bend
The night is as bright as the sun
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna look back
Never gonna know where we would have ended up at
The end has only begun
Well the day
Tonight feels like a million miles away
and these times just won't change
Life just stays the same
I'd give anything to see the light of day
What you do
No one can decide it's up to you
and who you are is what you choose
These times when the world falls apart
Make us who we are
The End Has Only Begun
Lifehouse's 2005 self-titled album marked a pivotal shift in the band's sound, blending alternative rock with electronic textures to create an atmospheric and introspective sonic landscape. The track 'The End Has Only Begun' exemplifies this era, featuring layered synthesizers and emotive vocals that define the group's mature musical identity. Released alongside hits like 'You And Me,' the song became a staple of their discography, resonating with listeners seeking a blend of indie rock and electronic experimentation. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of melancholic optimism, capturing the emotional complexity characteristic of mid-2000s alternative music.
