'The End' Lyrics

We've only ever kissed lying down
We've only ever touched
When there's no one else around
I can be elusive
If you want me to
I'm not being intrusive
I just wish I knew the truth

As to why
I wait for you
Longer than the average person would
And why
I think about you
More than I think one should

Our bodies fit together
Like a make-shift puzzle
And it's clear to see why you puzzle me
And you turn your frame
And you whisper my name
As though I am a burden
Cause I'm making up for lost time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm waking up with you
So what's new?
So what's new?I am at your house
So I belong to you for now
Trying to impress you
But lord I don't know how
I can be a statue
If you want me to
I'm not being difficult
I just need to know the truth

As to why
I'm wanting you
And I would take you if I could
And why I'm still (lay?) here
It's something I still haven't understood

Our hands rest together
Like pieces of paper
But they're always blank
When I hold your hand
And it gave you a fright
When I stayed the night
And you gave yourself to me

The words I have put in bold are the main reasons why we have planned to shoot this music video the way we have. When we first heard the song we instantly thought it would fit well to stop motion, and the lyrics seemed to suggest lovers waiting for each other, so the movement from stop motion says a lot about time, and the fact that the couple are lying in bed next to each other, but not together, suggest that they are still waiting for one another. The idea of passing objects to each other through the screen reflects the word ‘intrusive’, and ‘making up for lost time’ connotes their movement on how quickly they are moving throughout the video. ‘Make shift puzzle’ in our video refers to the split screen and them strangely being together, but apart- like puzzle pieces.
