You may wait until the end to know your story You may find this final trip quite mundane and boring You can wait until the end for any celebration Of the short life that you'll live Or the good that will endure You may wait until the end to ask what love's for Hold out to the end in hope of some great encore You may wait until the end It won't be long You may anticipate the end with great devotion You may worship and defend a source to every motion You may bargain and pretend that all the little favors Will be worth the trouble then And promise something more You may wait until the end to count your blessings Hope until the end that the work was worth investing You may wait until the end But then you're gone You may plot right to the end with careful measure Grasp tight to the end, preserving all your treasure You may curse at what you've had to do Regret what you've been missing Be bound to what you've done And ask for nothing more You may wait until the end to say you were mistaken Hate right to the end to accept the path you've taken You may wait until the end It won't be long
