Endings Are Beginnings

If endings are beginnings Maybe we should be leaving If loving you's like dying Maybe I could stop breathing We listen, but are we hearing? And endings are like beginnings If the start is just the finish Then maybe we should keep moving What things did you accomplish? Maybe we could stop counting I write to learn what I'm thinking And endings seem like beginnings Though I dig my heals right in There ain't a soul not suffering You pass it on like a baton And run and run and run and run Alas the heart, it cannot speak It holds its tongue between its teeth I travel across the great divide From neutral ground to your bedside If pain was just a tattoo Maybe it will stop hurting I'll say I'll always love you And hold you all night till morning I pray that I'm not just dreaming And endings are, and endings are And endings are like beginnings
