You see in the past
I had a dream
A fantasy
I thought that we would last
Become a little family
Then one, two, three, four
The years were flying by
They soared
And it's my gut feeling
It's not happening for me, so...

Let's end it on this
Give me one more kiss
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

You see it's hard to face
The addict that's inside of me
I want to fill my glass up
With you constantly
I've been here before
But I've never ever felt this sure
And now I know I've been dreaming
And your actions
Have inspired me, so...

Let's end it on this
Give me one more kiss (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this (it's over)
Just one more wish
One last kiss (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

I open up, you ignore me
Oh you're not the same at all no
And if I turn back
The pages of time
I'd rewrite your point of view uh huh

Washed up on the shore
Given one last chance
To try some more
But I'm tired, I'm freezing
Let's stop and call it history

Let's end it on this
Let's end it on this (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on (let's end it) instead
Let's end it on this
End it on this (it's over)
Let's end it on this
Let's end it on (let's end it)

Washed up on the shore
Given one last chance to try some more
But let's end it on this
Let's end it on this

It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over

    My Interpretation:Well this is def about Tony and Gwen. Saw them play live in July, when they played this song it was very emotional and amazing. No wonder its one of Gwen's favorite songs to play live. My thought with this song is that Gwen is breaking up with Tony and she doesn't want to deal with him anymore. I don't think its about addiction at. If anything she was addicted to loving Tony!

    General Comment:this song is about someone so deeply in love that they feel addicted to that person.
    "You see it's hard to face
    The addict that's inside of me
    I want to fill my glass up
    With you constantly"

    But they know that they have to end it because their relationship has become one sided...
    "I open up, you ignore me
    Oh you're not the same at all no
    And if I turn back
    The pages of time
    I'd rewrite your point of view uh huh"

    ...and they can see that their fairytale romance they imagined isn't happening, so they need to end things before they hate each other....
    "You see in the past
    I had a dream
    A fantasy ...
    And it's my gut feeling
    It's not happening for me, so...
    Let's end it on this
    Give me one more kiss "

    And it ends with the person saying they can't have any more chances to make it work because it obviuosly isn't if they have already put in all this work and it hasn't worked yet...
    "Washed up on the shore
    Given one last chance
    To try some more
    But I'm tired, I'm freezing
    Let's stop and call it history"

    Sorry its so long, this is one of my favorite no doubt songs and recently I've really come to relate with it.

    Meaning, that he/she thought that their alcoholic problem wouldnt have to end their reletionship, so it probably has to do with love/addictions
    ?

    General Comment:I love this song, probably my fav. No Doubt song, I think it is about an alcoholic.. You see it's hard to face
    The addict that's inside of me - cause he/she is addictied to alcohol.
    I want to fill my glass up - always wants to drink more and more, but is trying their best to stop!

    and the title "end it on this" ... saying in a way that he/she is over with abusing alcohol, and maybe wants to commit sucide .. or something

    I love that. It's like obsession, but they have to end the relationship - I don't think it was love.
