lyrics
End Of The Line by Jen Lane
all the king’s horses, and all of his men,
couldn’t put me back together again
but i’m kind of elated, that i’ve become a little jaded,
because i’ve won, it is what i made it anyway
at the end of the line, you’ve been waiting there for quite sometime
while i was outside, smoking cigarettes and drinking wine, you were on my mind
i was out on a wire, i felt numb, i thought i could fly
and so i jumped, and to my surprise i hit the ground
but when i woke up, i saw your face, you were still looking up
but that’s ok cause you won’t get enough of what you found
at the end of the line, you’ve been waiting there for quite sometime
while i, was outside, smoking cigarettes and getting high, you were on my mind
don’t be late, oh, don’t be late, i’m already here
at the end of the line, you’ve been waiting there for quite sometime
while i was outside, smoking cigarettes and drinking wine, at the end of the line,
by the fire, smoking cigarettes and drinking wine, you were on my mind
