When will the pages stop turning?
How could there possible be this many?
My fingers are burning from turning,
What feels like a million pages to me

No,
Makes no difference to me
I'm up to me knees with miles to go
No way to really know
What's left to find about the character,
Lending his life to the shortest ending

[Chorus]

Is this the end of the story finally coming?
Is this the end of the story finally?
It's a longest way to the shortest ending
It's a longest way to the shortest ending

Arguments Happiness Lie with a smile Popularity contests, and miracle miles of traveling Weather for days Skies were a blaze

One thousand degrees even under the shade
Trying everything just to finish this
It's taking everything to keep me from giving this all up for a chance to see the beginning and shortest ending

[Chorus]

No matter how hard I try to deny
It denies me one hundred times more I could say everything right I'm still going to be wrong just like I was before

Well I'm starting the story again Understanding the way this will end, will still be an end loose from pretending We will when we know that we won't Saying you do when you know that you don't

[Chorus]

It's a longest way to the shortest ending
It's a longest way to the shortest ending
It's a longest way to the shortest ending
It's a longest way to the shortest ending
Shortest ending!
