Manchester Lyrics

Love this song. Such a sweet love song. The "book" that he refers to is a metaphor for life, I think. It's his life and now HIS story has the proper end - "My favorite part is when I die in your arms" - is him imagining growing old together. He wants this person to be there until the end. He has fallen in love and feels alive and in love. Very simple and sweet. :)

@Mandy460 I like your explanation. I also considered that he’s talking about overcoming writer’s block. I write a whole book but the last page which came to him like an apple from his muse. Once he finished the project, he felt alive again.
