"An Ending Like This" lyrics

Midnight, late rides, a car crammed
Full of laughter
Who could've guessed
Miss Loneliness
Found herself away from her disaster

A worthwhile endeavor
She's getting much better at not holding it in
When words are too hard
She can grab a guitar and let the song begin

Well, she's farther than she started
That's for sure
And who could have predicted an ending like this
It's better than she ever wanted
So much more
With people she's found she'll already miss

She's been learning, yearning for someone
To sweep her off her feet
Or maybe tell her that she's stellar
Or maybe that they love her at least
But she'll be content in the end
'Cause after all a friend is a friend
And that's still something new
Still something sweet

Well, she's farther than she started
That's for sure
And who could have predicted an ending like this
It's better than she ever wanted
So much more
With people she's found she'll already miss

And the years weren't perfect
But she's starting to learn that
That's alright
She needed punctures that hurt
To give some worth to the holes that let
Down the sky
Lit up with stars
What's mine and what's ours
Doesn't matter
When it's all we've got
And if you agree that this is to be
A final send-off

And we're farther than we started
That's for sure
And I'd never have thought we'd all end up like this
I hope you're better than you've ever wanted
And much more

With lights up above
A send-off with love
From the memories you've called your own
From the place that you called home
From the people that you've known

And who could've thought it would end like this
With people you already miss
