All Good Things Come to an End
Nelly Furtado and Chris Martin Lyrics

Ah, ah, ah
Sighing in disappointment or contemplation of a difficult situation.

Honestly, what will become of me?
Expressing uncertainty about one's future or where they may end up.

Don't like reality
Disliking one's current situation or state of being.

It's way too clear to me
Feeling like the truth of a situation is obvious and undeniable.

But, really, life is dandy
Ironically acknowledging that life is not perfect, but trying to remain positive about it nonetheless.

We are what we don't see
Suggesting that we may not fully understand or perceive ourselves or our situations.

We miss everything daydreaming
Not fully experiencing life and missing out on opportunities because our heads are in the clouds.

Flames to dust
Something that was once powerful and passionate has turned to nothing.

Lovers to friends
A romantic relationship has turned into a friendship or ended altogether.

Why do all good things come to an end?
Expressing frustration or sadness over the temporary nature of happiness or pleasure in life.

Come to an end, come to an...
Repeating the question of why good things must come to an end.

Traveling, I only stop at exits
Not fully experiencing life and only pausing at opportunities for temporary pleasure or satisfaction.

Wondering if I'll stay (stay)
Uncertainty or hesitation about whether to commit to a situation or keep moving on.

Young and restless
Feeling like there is a whole life ahead to experience and not wanting to settle down yet.

Living this way, I stress less
Preferring a more care-free and spontaneous lifestyle, despite the potential consequences or uncertainty.

I want to pull away when the dream dies
Not wanting to face reality or deal with the sadness or disappointment that comes when something good comes to an end.

The pain sets in, and I don't cry
Feeling emotionally numb or detached from one's feelings when faced with disappointment or sadness.

I only feel gravity, and I wonder why
Feeling weighed down by the burdens or responsibilities of life, and questioning why things have to be so difficult.

The dogs were whistling a new tune
Metaphorical description of a change in the world or an unusual occurence.

Barking at the new moon
Expressing excitement or anticipation for something new or different that is coming.

Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of something new or different.

Die, die, die, die
Exaggerated or dramatic expression of a desire for change or the end of something difficult.

Well, the dogs were barking at the new moon
Repeating the earlier metaphor of the changing world or unusual occurrence.

Whistling a new tune
Expressing joy or excitement for something new.

And the sun was wondering if it should
Describing the sun anthropomorphically and suggesting uncertainty or hesitation about something.

Stay away for a day
Denying oneself from something temporarily to try and overcome a difficulty or problem.

Till the feeling went away
Waiting for something to change or improve before returning to normal or taking action.

And the sky was falling
Metaphorical description of chaos or disorder in the world.

And the clouds were dropping
Continued description of chaos or uncertainty in the world.

And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
Repeating the metaphor of chaos in the world, and suggesting that things seem beyond repair or redemption.
