Lyrics

The Beginning of the End

[Verse 1: Liam Fray]

Is this the beginning of the end?

And is this your brand new friend?

[Refrain: Liam Fray]

I never saw it coming

I never saw it coming

[Verse 2: Tommy O'Dell]

Am I just a sinner on the mend?

And are these the plans you send?

[Refrain: Tommy O'Dell, Both]

I never saw it coming

I never saw it coming

[Chorus: Liam Fray]

Oh, what you running for?

What you running for?

I really wanna know now

I really wanna know now

Oh, what you running for?

What you running for?

I really wanna know now

I really wanna know now

[Verse 3: Liam Fray]

Can you explain the last few days?

And erase the lasting pain?

[Refrain: Liam Fray]

I never saw it coming

I never saw it coming

[Verse 4: Tommy O'Dell]

So are you coming back around?

Say goodbye to the old stomping ground

[Refrain: Tommy O'Dell, Both]

They never saw you coming

Wе never saw you coming

[Chorus: Liam Fray]

Oh, what you running for?

What you running for?

I really wanna know now

I rеally wanna know now

Oh, what you running for?

What you running for?

I really wanna know now

I really wanna know now

[Bridge: Liam Fray]

I don't wanna walk into the fight again

I wish we could talk into the night again

Scaling the heights of the nighttime sky

Sailing away with our heads held high

I don't wanna walk into the fight again

I wish we could talk into the night again

Scaling the heights of the nighttime sky

Sailing away with our heads held high

[Chorus: Liam Fray]

What you running for?

What you running for?

I really wanna know now

I really wanna know now

Oh, what you running for?

What you running for?

I really wanna know now

I really wanna know now

[Outro: Liam Fray]

Out of here

And we're out of here

And we're out of here

And we're out of here

And we're out
