How It Ended
Drums (The) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those days when I would sit around with you
Oh, there's nothing like it
And even when my heart was black and blue
Oh, there's nothing like it
And everything before and after you
Oh, it doesn't cut it

So do you remember the old times
Those were the only times
The only times
I don't know how it ended
I don't know where you ran to
I'll always be right here
I don't know how it ended
I don't know where you ran to
I'll always be right here

You never have to say that you were wrong
I know I'd do it all again
Even if it was wrong
And I could write a thousand more
Songs about you transcribed by
Before this one's done
The next one's begun

So do you remember the old times
Those were the only times
The only times
I don't know how it ended
I don't know where you ran to
I'll always be right here
I don't know how it ended
I don't know where you ran to
I'll always be right here

How will this end
And when will my life begin
Again, again, again, again

So do you remember the old times
Those were the only times
The only times
I don't know how it ended
I don't know where you ran to
I'll always be right here
I don't know how it ended




I don't know where you ran to
I'll always be right here

Overall Meaning

In "How It Ended," The Drums sing about how nothing compares to the days when they would sit around with their loved one despite their heart being black and blue. They reminisce on the past, before and after the person they shared those moments with, and realize that nothing else compares to those times. They don't know how the relationship ended or where their loved one went, but they vow to always be there.


The chorus repeats "I don't know how it ended, I don't know where you ran to, I'll always be right here." This expresses their uncertainty about what happened in the past but also their loyalty to their loved one, regardless of what they may have done. They also acknowledge that even if they made mistakes in the past, they would do it all over again just to experience those moments with the person they were with.


The line "How will this end, and when will my life begin again" shows the singer's confusion and longing to be with their loved one. They want to know what the future holds and when they can begin anew. Overall, the song speaks to the power of nostalgia and the desire for lost love.


Line by Line Meaning

Those days when I would sit around with you
Relishing in the moments that I would spend with you


Oh, there's nothing like it
Those times were incomparable to any other


And even when my heart was black and blue
Even in the depths of pain and sadness


Oh, there's nothing like it
Those moments still brought me joy beyond the pain


And everything before and after you
My life was different before and after you came into it


Oh, it doesn't cut it
But nothing else compares to the time we spent together


So do you remember the old times
Do you recall those moments we shared?


Those were the only times
Those moments were the only ones that truly mattered


I don't know how it ended
I'm unsure of how our relationship ended


I don't know where you ran to
I don't know where you disappeared to


I'll always be right here
But I'll always be here waiting for you


You never have to say that you were wrong
You don't have to apologize for anything you did


I know I'd do it all again
Because I would still do everything with you all over again


Even if it was wrong
Even if it may have been the wrong decision


And I could write a thousand more
And I could write endless songs


Songs about you transcribed by
Songs about you, perfectly transcribed


Before this one's done
Before this song ends


The next one's begun
The next song about you has already started


How will this end
How will our story conclude?


And when will my life begin
When will I find my new start?


Again, again, again, again
Repeating the same questions and uncertainties
