Kicking off is the hardest part
Nothing's certain at the start,
Letting go,
So something can begin.
Figure out how to get a life,
leave tomorrow, live tonight,
Gotta throw,
throw your heart right in.
'Cause we all fall down.
Everybody knows the end,
When the curtain hits the floor.
Everybody knows the end,
Don't wanna get there wishing that you'd given more.
It's not over,
Till it's over,
So how do we begin?
When everybody knows the end.
I need to live with nothing fixed,
Don't tell me what's gonna happen next,
I'm all right,
I like the way this feels.
Leave behind all the things I'll miss,
The next stop isn't where you think it is,
'Cause tonight,
I'm riding off the rails.
'Cause we all fall down.
Everybody knows the end,
When the curtain hits the floor.
Everybody knows the end,
Don't wanna get there wishing that you'd given more.
It's not over,
Till it's over,
So how do we begin?
When everybody knows...
The end is where you hope you never say,
'I could've done it better,'
I'm gonna keep what counts,
and throw away,
what doesn't really matter,
And I wanna die (and I wanna die)
On the highest high (on the highest high)
It's not over (it's not over)
Till it's over
I wanna stay here forever.
'Cause we all fall down.
Everybody knows the end,
When the curtain hits the floor.
Everybody knows the end,
Don't wanna get there wishing that you'd given more.
It's not over,
Till it's over,
So how do we begin?
When everybody knows the end.
Everybody knows the end.

i think this songs about the more philosophical subject of life and death...
its supposed to be..
'the end is where you hope you never say, i could've done it better. and im gonna keep what counts and throw away what doesn't really matter.'
a beautiful song.
its basically about life and death. i.still.remember is right.when we live our lives, we shouldn't live it worrying about every single thing. the good and the bad come, and as hard as it gets, we should all just accept what happens.
we shouldn't be cautious about our mistakes, and should do what we want, coz in the end, all we want is happiness. no one wants to die with complete regret. everyone has problems, but we should just accept it. its a part of life. note, 'we all fall down'. the songs basically telling us that we should embrace life, take chances, do what we want, have fun, and forget about the past.
the best line is,
'and i wanna die, on the highest high. its not over til its over, i wanna stay here forever.'
we should all want more happiness for ourselves, we shouldn't give up. love life.. yknow, all those amazing cliches. =D
another amazing song from the boys. a favourite in the new album.
So I really thought this song was about them. The fame, but it makes alot more sense when its about life and death. The acoustic version is amazing.
Someone cant spell curtain.
I really love the line 'I wanna die on the highest high'! I think it's beautiful, and I can really relate to it.
