"An End" by Devon Gabriella opens in a north Seattle downpour, where wringing out soaked hair becomes a quiet image of trying to force resolution from something already spent. The chorus circles around impossible questions about how long to keep talking, how strong loss requires, and when holding on turns wrong. Even with a steady, tender partner, restlessness and self-doubt make love feel like a test of worth. The bridge admits the deeper fear: not wanting to lose the friend, yet never finding the right moment to call it over.
An End Lyrics by Devon Gabriella
Rainy day in north Seattle
Downpour and an uphill battle
Wringing out the water from my hair
Twisted ’till it felt bone dry
Even then, you know I tried
To force out all the drops that weren’t there
How long can you talk until it’s all been said?
How strong do you have to be to lose a friend?
What song do you love that doesn’t have an end, an end? (An end, end, end)
How wrong is it to hold on when there’s nothing left?
How tall can you stand with weight laying on your chest?
I never know the right time to call an end an end
He’s got a steady head, hands with the sweetest touch
But I worry that love will never be enough
For a girl who’s never satisfied, I was looking for something more
And maybe I’m just staying to convince myself
That I can keep a good thing like everybody else
So, what’s it gonna take for me to throw in the towel?
I think I feel ready, then I still can’t tell
How long can you talk until it’s all been said?
How strong do you have to be to lose a friend?
What song do you love that doesn’t have an end, an end? (An end, end, end)
How wrong is it to hold on when there’s nothing left?
How tall can you stand with weight laying on your chest?
I never know the right time to call an end an end
Why can’t I ever find the end?
Oh, I don’t wanna know an end
Why can’t I ever find the end?
Oh, I don’t wanna know
Oh, I don’t wanna know
Oh, I don’t wanna lose a friend
Oh, I don’t wanna lose a friend
Why can’t I ever find the end?
Oh, I don’t wanna call
Oh, I don’t wanna call it
Oh, I don’t wanna call it
