About This Quote
The pause makes you think the song will end. And then the song isn't really over, so you're relieved. But then the song does actually end, because every song ends, obviously, and THAT. TIME.
THE. END. IS.
FOR. REAL. When we sing a song we never know when it is going to end and we never know when we are actually going to hear the last note of each and every song we sing.
This quote shows how we think the song is going to end and how we always think it will keep going forever even though we know it cannot go on forever.
