Florence + The Machine - The End Of Love Lyrics
I feel nervous in a way that can't be named
I dreamt last night of a sign that read, "the end of love"
And I remember thinking
Even in my dreaming it was a good line for a song
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
And it was so far to fall
But it didn't hurt at all
And let it wash away, wash away
In the balcony like my grandmother so many years before me
I've always been in love with you
Could you tell it from the moment that I met you?
We're a family pulled from a flood
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away
We were reaching in the dark (wash away)
That summer in New York (wash away)
And was it so far to fall (wash away)
Said it didn't hurt at all
And let it wash away, wash away
And Joshua came down from the mountain
With a tablet in his hands
Told me that he loved me, yeah
And then ghosted me again
We were reaching in the dark
That summer in New York
And it was so far to fall
But it didn't hurt at all
I let it wash away, wash away
Reaching in the dark (wash away)
That summer in New York (wash away)
And was it so far to fall (wash away)
Said it didn't hurt at all
And let it wash away, wash away

Florence + The Machine The End Of Love Comments
Watch in 1.5x speed you’re going to love it !!!
I've always loved Florence. I made my parents listen to her in the car over and over and over again. They would always say 'why do you listen to such depressing stuff'. They never got it. Until one day when I played in a traffic jam. No other noise. It was then that my mum realised what she'd been missing. We were both crying together in seconds. My dad still didn't get it. It won't take long. I have faith in Florence.
Whatever happened to the cool people who'd always put the lyrics in the comments... likes await you sweet angel... we're all lazy here.
this song is so beautiful it takes my breath away
this song was a religious experience for me
This song reminds a little of The Great Gatsby
Karolona Bez Kartona Then you’ll adore Over the Love, another Florence and the Machine song, which is actually on the Great Gatsby’s soundtrack and is about The Great Gatsby from partially Daisy’s perspective.
hedgehogsonic11 Yeah, I know this song and I also love it with all my heart. I think it should be used more in the movie.
Cried so many times to this song since it’s come out.
Eu sei que não posso ter tudo.
E quando se trata de amor, você é uma luta fácil.
Não é justo e não é certo
Convencê-lo de que está tudo bem comigo, por enquanto.
Eu poderia tratá-lo melhor, mas não sou tão inteligente assim.
Eu tenho medo de arruinar tudo isso, nós.
Tenho feito coisas que não deveria fazer, como sempre.
É difícil seguir adiante
Quando nada é certo e nada é errado.
É difícil olhar nos olhos
Quando já se foi mordido uma vez e agora sou duas vezes mais tímido.
Eu tive minha quota de homens bonitos na vida.
E você tá só começando a sua.
Já desejei até ser mais novo, pra poder te acompanhar,
Eu sei que não sou melhor companhia sempre.
E eu tentei dizer, mas sem usar palavras.
Você leu minhas entrelinhas muito bem.
Não parece certo e não parece justo
Quando estou planejando seguir em frente e você está de pé ali, na beira do caminho.
Não quero guardar um segredo (não precisamos deles).
Queria que vc me deixasse entrar por um minuto, em lugares que desconhecemos pq eu ainda tenho tanto pra te mostrar, e vice-versa.
Você não é a minha vida, mas quero você nela. Não tenho vergonha de admitir que eu duvidasse disso no início, no início. Lembra?
Há uma parte de você que é livre
E sei que há um lugar para mim.
Não sei qual é esse lugar, na verdade não sei nem se vc tbm sabe.
O que sei de certo, é que a gente se ama.
Não é namoro, nem casamento, amizade é pouco, de materno é meu espírito.
Eu sou apaixonado por vc, mas não é sempre.
E eu te amo, isso é uma constante.
Eu planejo minha vida, com a certeza de vc nela, independente de qual lugar na sociedade for o nosso.
Vc é a única pessoa com quem eu compartilho tudo, vc conquistou isso.
E eu acho que talvez por isso (e é natural) tenha medo de tudo desabar na minha cabeça.
Pq não sei como seria sem vc.
Mesmo sabendo que poderia ser pq vc sabe que poderia.
A diferença é que eu não quero que seja.
Se vc tem inseguranças quanto a isso, lança fora.
Se vc tem medo de algo que não é, lança fora.
Ninguém merece viver com medo e inseguro, nem vc e nem eu.
Vc será tão grande quanto o mundo, e ficarei grato de estar nele.
Como tenho certeza que tbm serei, e que brilharemos nossas constelações juntos, colisão de matéria, nascimento de estrelas.
E se vc algum dia perceber que não quer mais estar ao meu lado, e não quiser mais fazer parte do meu universo, se despeça gentilmente, pq n sei lidar com o vazio que a saudade causa.
Estou aprendendo ainda sobre amar e sobre a vida.
Assim como vc.
A honra da nossa vida
Ela é toda minha.
A honra do nosso amor, é do universo.
T.amo
G.B
Guilherme Henrique;
Eu quero que você saiba que você não passou despercebido na minha vida. Que eu me lembro do exato momento em você me pediu o isqueiro emprestado, no calor que a noite fazia, e nos sorrisos advindos das nossas coincidências de vida. Foi uma era, uma temporada inteira, uma vida. Quero que saiba também que eu aprendi muitas coisas desde nosso último abraço, mas que nenhum desses aprendizados me elucidou como lidar com a saudade, com a falta que você me faz.
Esse aperto não sai de mim Gui, eu queria que saísse, eu deságuo em amor, faço chuva dentro de mim, me lavo por hora, mas eu me lembro sempre de você, nunca vou te esquecer meu amigo, e nem quero. Nossa existência se fez carne, habitamos esses corpos passantes, mas a essência perdura não é mesmo? Ela fica, resiste, é constância infinita de estar.
Você me ensinou a gostar de Tarantino. Creio que só gostei também porque pra mim, você tinha saído diretamente da loucura de Pulp Fiction. De todas as vodcas que tomamos, dos Marlboros vermelhos que fumamos, da arte que você criava quando pegava num lápis, de como eu me apaixonei por isso tudo, de tudo que compunha quem você era, do tanto seu que ficou em mim velho amigo.
Eu quero te pedir perdão, por um período de tempo ter me rendido ao sistema, das preocupações da vida terem se tornado prioridade, e por conta disso não ter ido te visitar quando você me ligou. Essas preocupações todas passaram, a vida andou você se foi e eu ainda estou aqui, vivo.
Eu me sentei no meio fio da rodoviária depois daquele abraço, você entrando no ônibus e indo embora, e chorei, tanto que pensei que iria me desfazer. Você nunca mais voltou Gui. Eu nunca mais pude te abraçar, nem olhar nos seus olhos e dizer o quanto te amo.
Eu te amo, pra todo o sempre da nossa essência e sua duração.

My school dance team did a dance to this song in it was soooo good !
Im so in love with this woman, her lyrics are just so amazing.... I have no words to describe 😍
This album hurts so good
does anyone know the notes on the chorus harmonies? it's sooo beautiful!!!
D.C. Purple CLOSET 14695 AQUILA ct E 77318.
So many beautiful pitches from our queen 💙
florence is musician that make music because she love it and she make music (for my opinion) beacuse of some story because this song is beautiful because of it. and many musicians in this age are doing music because of money and things like that
How does she do it? Just constantly releases magic in her work. In her voice. It’s incredible. And touching.
This reminds me of "this woman's work" and I love it
I love florence but why every artist want to mention new york like it's the most charming place to ever exist lmao new york is literally a mess, a place for competition and smells like polution, literal trash.
Gosh, I felt so high the first time I listened to this record! Well actually it was the CD, but ya know.
BEST SONG OF THE ALBUM. I AM BEWITCHED AND STARCROSSED 🌠
When you walk ahead of your friends while on a hike and hear a large thud after they start messing around with a weird ball shaped object hanging in a tree: 0:00
@f͓̽l͓̽e͓̽u͓̽r͓̽ bees
This song helped cry and let all my sorrows go away. Now, I'm calmed
This song is very emotional and surprisingly a bit dark for me, it's not a bad thing though
This song is absolutely stunning !
People who thumbs up this video, you guys rock
I left you yesterday. That was my end of love. Things had been going downhill for months, I struggled, I wasn't happy. It was hard to except. You said you'd come on Friday, but you didn't. You didn't even text to tell me why. So I left you the next day. I've known you for over 10 years, I wish it didnt have to happen like this.
Anyway just a little rant kind of thing sorry. Hope everyone with a broken heart is okay.
I LOVE YOU
This pure gold.
what? why? so many dislikes? i-
Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Jonas Brothers, Billie Eilish, are all the most popular artists at the moment and NONE of them NONE compare to Florence's song writing skills and vocal ability, and the Machine is much better than any of those artists bands will ever be.
Elliot Chilcote Agreed! The only artist I can think of how matches, or maybe even surpasses Florence, is the legendary Sia.
I agree with both of you. I agree that those people are talented yes and that what makes them popular but nothing is comparable to this. and i agree Sia is really good the only one who is close to comparing
Marionette K. I think the last 3-4 minutes of this song far outmatches The End of Love, as much as I love Florence https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1L_6hLmRSQE
You may think the number 23 has a hold but you know not the might of 28.
This music is one of the most beautiful thing i've ever heard.
Let the river rush in...
Lovee the penderecki'esque intro..the intricate work here (score wise) is beautiful. Amazing vocals as per. 👍👌✌
This song. I have heard it only once and it has reached right into my very soul and pulled at all that, sadness, joy, anxiety, serenity and turmoil. It built up all of this unnamed emotion and then swirled it inside and my heart feels so fresh and new again. How does such a simple thing do all of that to someone?
A voice like no other
Missed this album!!
this song writte my succes of my life #HighAsHopeTourMèxico
2:28 Chills
This is beautiful
I like how this isn't repetitive melodically. Like the chorus yea, but the verses flow, with a bit of familiarity but just enough difference to make it interesting.
Uauuuuuuu
Omg!?😔😍😓Florence diva da porta toda 😭😭
I fricking love florence i wish some day i could cry hugging her
@xadoreagb
akadiogo i came from her edit
666 dislikes? This is the devil's henchmen disliking such a masterpiece!
This song is all ❤️ Florence’s vocals are so elegant and prevailing.
Does anyone full on cry to this track? My emotions overcome me, Florence pulls my heartstrings.
The first time I listened to this I was driving home after visiting my parents - the ending chorus played just as I rounded a bend on the highway, and the setting sun streamed beams of light through the clouds in that way that only summer seems to do It felt like I was driving into the rest of my life and the rest of my life was going to be GOOD, so filled to the brim with light and love. Florence has always has a way of releasing an album right when I need it, and High as Hope couldn't have come at a better time. Forever grateful I discovered Lungs when it released all those years ago.
Fabulous ...and SOOooo deep.
The opening is scary
I love to hate so I see no end myself even if everything I love disappeared!
Where is the lyrics comment?
My funeral song
I first heard this song last week, at her concert, in Rotterdam. It struck me, I cannot describe it, it was perfect, one of the most beautiful and touching thing I have ever heard. What an amazing human being
Before seeing her live this song was just somewhere stored in the background, but after; man, best song of the album by far!
ironic how such a depressing song cured my depression
If this doesn't give you goosebumps I don't know what will! Simply beautiful
I was just listening passively, and that chorus came up and hit me so hard
Fucking awesome song
Anyone finds this similar to "This Woman's Work"?
There is one big problem with this song.It ends.
The moment I heard the chorus for the first time I was overcome with emotion, this is probably the most beautiful song I’ve heard.
Fuckkkkk it hurts but it’s beautiful all at the same time.
yeah 2:49 and on is killer -soul-melting, the quiver in her voice refracted by the belting solo. The problem is the 60+ second beginning, the explanation of the idea of the song, the delivery was like two bros talking trying to trivialize something very deep that needed no explanation. I don't need sense, I crave raw emotion. This song delivers that after 2:49...and anywhere the chorus plays before 2:49. Love dying needs no preface it's so human, everyone gets it.
I'll see Florence perform next week and she won't allegedly sing this song and I sad/mad about it. One of the bests songs of the album
Love. Love. Love !!!
The beginning sounds like Minecraft music lol.
how does this song even have dislikes?
Stunning song, anyone knows the meaning of it?
Pablo Rg It’s a beautiful song about Florence’s confusing and chaotic life mixed together in one; grandmas suicide (jumped off a balcony in New York due to manic depression when Flo was 11), parent’s divorce, breakups, anxiety, family problems, the inability to love passed down from her grandmother to her mother to Florence, getting ghosted by a man who tells you he loves you etc etc. She said that when she became sober and turned 30, her whole life started becoming clearer and she started understanding more, like the aftermath of a shipwreck or a flood and looking at the wreckage and pulling things out and picking them apart and understanding what on earth had been happening in Florence’s life now that the storm is over (being drunk and suffering through the aforementioned problems). It’s about piecing together her chaotic and past life and her trying to figure out what went wrong, what happened and why it happened. That is what The End Of Love is about.
@Sheroo wow, thank you!
i alaways cry with this song.. but is not on a sad way... is like purging a lot of sorrow... definetly washing away
like a pouring rain cleaning your body and spirit
This song is phenomenal! Was absolutely blown away the first time I heard it and it is without question my favorite Florence & The Machine song now. Goosebumps!
Please play a show in the Grand Canyon. It will change the world!!!!
what?!!!! not even a million views? the underratedness of it all...……….THIS IS QUALITY, CLASSIC MUSIC. LOVE THIS BAND
Thank you Christopher.🦍.🦌.🦄.🐂.🐺🐩🦊🐎🐎🐎🐎.
Email to The Grand Canyon road for the first time. Photos Enclosed.
god her music never fails to sooth me, its so easy to tune out intrusive thoughts and self hatred listening to every song on this album in particular
This song is mesmerising. I genuinely felt like i was floating when listening to it. Florence just keeps on giving. Mad fan for life <3
biGGGG crying to this song. it’s beautiful.
I'm going to find all the people who gave this a thumbs down and send them over the waterfall.
Just the harmony in the instrumental at the beginning is enough to make me melt.
She's a future legend
Understand that we are winning the ones who die to carry a special feeling a certain kind of light a sort of lightning in a bottle and we are often marked by being a true fuck up a real lamb to the devils slaughter but even though the moral compass may be broken we are doing what is right no matter the time to act is past but still going foward to the mountain top of true human connection tighter than a myceliea we will become top force and mind and we will become the angelic super beings only dreamed of by witches and philosophers but its gonna happen that day when there will be no minority and no majority only connection to the I and the us. And the only 2 weapons were time and love and the neotenistic bunch fell don't stop any of you who know what's TRULY good💟
Florence's lyrics are amazing. They are so visual!
I went to a performance were they announced this song as "Copper Static" but there isn't even a song out there called that and now I found it AND I'M SOOO HAPPY. Every time I thought about this song I got pissed because I'd didn't know what it was and it was so beautiful!
Which performance was this?
@Sheroo A performance from a high school I am applying for.
I swear you make the most unique, best music
Am I the only one who doesn’t know about this JOSHUA? Who’s he? What’s the story behind?
'Joshua' is a religious figure from the Bible and Qur'an, and she uses that as a metaphor to refer to her ex who never loved her back
Ohh okay, got it. I thought it so, but I don't know enough about the bible to connect with a specific figure, thanks a lot.. now I'm interested.
This song is so technically perfect. I cant belive it each time i listen to it. I have to check myself that i'm hearing it correctly. The string intro is hauntingly anxious from the pit of her stomach. Followed by the bittersweet unrequited uplifting chorus. Layer after layer of florence's choral voice like a harmonic spiritual tide.
I can't think of a more accomplished arrangement (Pink Floyd breath maybe close).
This song is channelled from somewhere else. Not from this pale reality. It has the touch of the creator.
She is divine literally !
Here is a song I think surpasses this one :) especially the last 3 minutes of the background vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L_6hLmRSQE
@Sheroo can't say I agree. But then I am totally biased :)
It absolutely kills me I won't see her live this tour.
Her best song
I love that you can hear her breath and it's not edited out.
The Lost Lullaby same here... so many artists (especially in musical theatre) hate to hear their breath on a recording. To me, it makes Florence (and other artists) seem so much more human, to know they breathe, and are okay to let the world know that.
QUE MÚSICAAAA
Something unspeakably holy about this song
Video, Please!
Unwanted. Kicked again. Salt in an old wound that refuses to heal.
2:42 the synth (or whatever it is) sounds like it's playing the tune from Only If For A Night!! I wonder if that was on purpose and they were paying homage to their previous works? Such beautiful music from an amazing band :")
You may be right! Only If For A Night was also about Florence's grandmother's suicide, just like this song!
