The Start of the End

[Verse 1]
You were the anthem
Of my summer after high school
And I kept you on me
Like a timeless perfume
We saw some wars and firework shows
Bloody fists in my driveway
You were fighting your ghosts

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re still around
I feel it now
Mmm

[Chorus]
Is this the start of the end?
'Cause you don’t reach for my hand over coffee
Or turn the lights off and tell me you want me
And I feel more like a friend
Either way I would do it again
Just to reach, just to be
At the start of the end

[Verse 2]
You don’t call me
So let’s call it what it is
And the distance doesn’t get to you
Like I wish it did
I could throw a fit
Go kicking and screaming
Or I could love you and let you
Leave with your reasons

[Pre-Chorus]
The time we lost
It’s no one’s fault
Mmmm

[Chorus]
Is this the start of the end?
'Cause you don’t reach for my hand over coffee
Or turn the lights off and tell me you want me
And I feel more like a friend
Either way I would do it again
Just to reach, just to be
At the start of the end

[Bridge]
'Cause you don’t notice I’m wearing a new dress
Or wanna go show me off on the weekend
We don’t call in sick just to stay in bed
Either way I would do it again
A Friday night kicked out of a dive bar
Downtown drive around in your first car
It’s been so long but I can’t forget
Either way I would do it again
You and me at the start of the end

[Chorus]
Is this the start of the end?
'Cause you don’t reach for my hand over coffee
Or turn the lights off and tell me you want me
And I feel more like a friend
Either way I would do it again
Just to reach, just to be
At the start of the end

[Outro]
Here we are, you and me
At the start of the end
