Well, I can see what you mean
It just takes me longer
An I can feel what you feel
It just makes you stronger

Well, you can take me for a little while
You can take me, you can make me smile in the end

Well, I can see what you mean
It just takes me longer
An I can feel what you feel
It just makes you stronger

I know, I know, I know
Whoa, the feeling grows
I see, I see, I see
It’s got to be

Whoa yeah, whoa Yeah

Well, I can do what you do
You just do it better
I can cry like you cry
It just makes me sadder

Whoa yeah, whoa yeah
Whoa yeah.. yeah!

Whoa, you can take me for a little while
You can take me, you can make me smile in the end

Whoa yeah

Well, I can shine like you shine
It don’t make me brighter
But if I think, oh, like you think
It don’t make my load much lighter

Whoa
Whoa oh

I can see what you mean
It just takes me longer
An I can feel what you feel
It just makes me stronger

Whoa yeah – yeah
Oh yeah

About Lyrics and In The End by Rush

When you decide to study the lyrics to In The End, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1975 song by Rush. Some of the lyrics to In The End have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Rush and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to In The End if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to In The End" means the words set to the music of In The End, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Rush. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to In The End and the lyrics to In The End are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Rush who came here looking just for the lyrics to In The End, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
