[EDWARD]

I've seen this all before

When I was just a child

I met a witch who took a bow and showed me how it ended

We stood here on the shore

The air was sweet and mild

With disbelief implausibly suspended

And in my child's imagination, I remember you;

Though, I didn't know if we were foes or friends

But now you're standing here

I see the vision coming clear

I know exactly how this ends

It ends with you

It ends with me

It ends the way a story's ending is supposed to be

A bit insane

A touch of pain

Adeptly told

Yet uncontrolled

It ends with faith

It ends with love

It ends with water in the river and the sun above

Part epic tale

Part fire sale

But all sincere

And standing here

I know I wasn't perfect

I know my life was small

I know that I pretended that I knew it all

But when you tell my story

And I hope somebody does

Remember me as something bigger than I was

It ends with sons

It ends with wives

It ends with knowing when the pavement bends we find our lives

So let it come

And let me go

Show me the waves

And let them flow

It all ends well

This much, I know
