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 it's tongue between it's 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
