The End of Love
Florence the Machine Lyrics

I feel nervous in a way that can't be named
I am experiencing a sense of unease that is hard to describe

I dreamt last night of a sign that read, "the end of love"
I had a dream where I saw a sign that said "the end of love"

And I remember thinking
At that moment, I recall having a thought

Even in my dreaming it was a good line for a song
I thought that even in my dream, that line would make a good song

We're a family pulled from the flood
We are a group of people who have survived a flood

You tore the floorboards up
You caused damage to the floorboards

And let the river rush in
You allowed the water from the flood to come in

Not wash away, wash away
Although the water came in, it did not sweep everything away

We were reaching in the dark
We were trying hard to understand something without much information or guidance

That summer in New York
During that particular summer spent in New York

And it was so far to fall?
Was the potential risk too high?

But it didn't hurt at all
Despite the risk, no harm was done

And let it wash away, wash away
Despite our efforts, we allowed something to disappear

And in a moment of joy and fury I threw myself
I acted impulsively out of a mix of happiness and anger

In the balcony like my grandmother so many years before me
I behaved similarly to my grandmother who did the same thing years ago

I've always been in love with you
I have long felt romantic affection for you

Could you tell it from the moment that I met you?
Was it obvious to you that I felt this way since the time we first met?

And Joshua came down from the mountain
A person named Joshua arrived, possibly after being on a journey

With a tablet in his hands
He was holding a flat device, possibly for writing or reading

Told me that he loved me, yeah
He expressed his love for me

And then ghosted me again
But shortly after, he disappeared and stopped communicating with me
