I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I
Should I

And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever
Ever

Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I
Should I

And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I
Should I

And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fall
If I fall (down)

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home

And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I
Should I
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna

    This song is everything to me. And only I will ever understand.

    I think this song is about someone who has left their friends(someone close to them, girlfriend, boyfriend) Its them telling them what has happened to them, how they are feeling now that they’ve left.

    I never, said I'd lie and wait forever If I did we'd be together now -now that they have left they are not going to wait for them to see them again, they’ve moved on, they know that if they wait for them that they will be waiting for forever.

    I can't always just forget her But she could try

    • something reminds him about her where ever he goes and he can’t even try to forget, but he knows she can at least try to forget him because she has her friends still but he’s alone now in a new place and he is always reminded of her, he nothing else and no one else to distract him.

    At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home -this part here i think is him thinking about how she is seeing life now that he’s gone, he thinks she thinks that when the world ends or when she dies that he will be the last thing going through her mind. He is never coming home, he sings this in a way that’s almost pleading to himself that he isn’t coming back home. Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever ever... -he’s considering suicide because he feels so depressed and alone after leaving. Could he go through with it and should he even try. He’s then thinking about all the moments, things they’d talk about and smiles they were going to share if he had stayed.

    Ever... Get the feeling that you're never All alone and I remember now -although he’s alone, in his mind he remembers/has dreams about her and feels like shes always with him, so he isn’t really alone. At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies She dies -he thinks that if she feels as bad as him then if she dies it’s his fault, and he’s screaming at himself, thinking he’s killed her.

    At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me -again he’s thinking of the moments he’s missing with her, her smile haunts him and it always will.

    Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me -he cuts/hurts himself, and when he dies he thinks that the memories of her(ghost, because now that he never sees her, it feels as if she is actually dead to him)won’t get him anymore.

    If I fall... If I fall... Down -when he finally ends it.

    yeah..

    .> <.< bye.
