End of the day
One Direction - [Made in the A. M.] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told her that I loved her, just not sure if she heard
The roof was pretty windy and she didn't say a word
Party died downstairs, had nothing left to do
Just me, her and the moon

I set you on fire babe
Than down came the lightning on me
Love can be frightening for sure

All I know at the end of the day is you want what you want and you say what you say
And you'll follow your heart even though it'll break
Sometimes
All I know at the end of the day is love who you love
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learnt from a million mistakes
You're the one that I want at the end of the day

At the end of the day
You're the one that I want at the end of the day

Sure the night was over, I said it's forever
Twenty minutes later wound up in the hospital
The priest thinks it's the devil
My mum thinks it's the flu
But girl it's only you

I set you on fire babe
And down came the lightning on me
Love can be frightening for sure

All I know at the end of the day is you want what you want and you say what you say
And you'll follow your heart even though it'll break
Sometimes
All I know at the end of the day is love who you love
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learnt from a million mistakes
You're the one that I want at the end of the day

When the sun goes I know that you and me and everything will be alright
And when the city's sleeping, you and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming
You and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming

All I know at the end of the day is you want what you want and you say what you say
And you'll follow your heart even though it'll break
Sometimes
All I know at the end of the day is love who you love
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learnt from a million mistakes
You're the one that I want at the end of the day (at the end of the day)

At the end of the day




You're the one that I want at the end of the day (at the end of the day)
You're the one that I want at the end of the day

Overall Meaning

"End of the Day" is a love song by British boy band One Direction. The song explores the theme of unconditional love and the risks one takes for love. The lyrics suggest that love is not always easy and that it can be scary, but it is worth it in the end. The first verse describes a moment between the singer and his love interest, where he tells her he loves her but isn't sure if she heard him. The second verse refers to a situation where the singer ends up in the hospital due to his love for the girl, suggesting that love can be both beautiful and dangerous. The chorus repeats the message that no matter what happens, the singer will always love the girl, and that she is the one he wants at the end of the day.


The bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope amidst the challenges of love. It suggests that even when everything else seems to be falling apart, the sun will rise again, and everything will be alright. The final chorus reinforces the message that ultimately, love is about following your heart and loving who you love.

The night had ended, and I professed that our love would last eternally, but shortly after, we ended up in the hospital, causing both the priest and my mother to ponder the cause; despite their speculations, you were solely to blame


When the sun goes I know that you and me and everything will be alright, And when the city's sleeping, you and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming, You and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming
The dawn's arrival signifies that everything between us will be resolved, and when the city slumbers, we can remain awake and continue to envision our future together


At the end of the day, You're the one that I want at the end of the day

Lyrics
I told her that I loved her,
Was not sure if she heard
The roof was pretty windy
And she didn't say a word
Party dying downstairs,
Had nothing left to do
Just me,
Her and the moon

I said you're on fire babe
Then down came the lightning on me
Love can be frightening for sure

All I know at the end of the day
Is you want what you want
And you say what you say
And you follow your heart
Even though it'll break sometimes
All I know at the end of the day
Is you love who you love,
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learned
From a million mistakes
You're the one that I want
At the end of the day

At the end of the day
You're the one that I want
At the end of the day

She said the night was over,
I said it's forever
20 minutes later,
Wound up in the hospital
The priest thinks it's the devil,
My mum thinks it's the flu
But girl it's only you

I said you're on fire babe
Then down came the lightning on me
Love can be frightening for sure

All I know at the end of the day
Is you want what you want
And you say what you say
And you follow your heart
Even though it'll break sometimes
All I know at the end of the day
Is you love who you love,
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learned
From a million mistakes
You're the one that I want
At the end of the day

When the sun goes down I know that you and me and everything will be alright
And when the city's sleeping
You and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming
You and I can stay awake and keep on dreaming

All I know at the end of the day
Is you want what you want and you say what you say
And you follow your heart
Even though it'll break sometimes
All I know at the end of the day
Is you love who you love,
There ain't no other way
If there's something I've learned
From a million mistakes
You're the one that
I want at the end of the day
At the end of the day
You're the one that
I want at the end of the day
You're the one that
I want at the end of the day
