Everybody Knows
It always had to look good
It always had to be perfect
It always had to look easy
So tell me now was it worth it?
You stand in the doorway
With a bag full of words that you can't say
Your distant eyes on the tv
Your distant eyes won't see me
But it's written across the blue skies
You're scared to stumble and realise
That underneath the cover
We're all as frail as eachother
We're all as frail as eachother
Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
It doesn't have to look good
And you don't have to be perfect
It doesn't even have to be easy
No, if you're open it's worth it
Your hand in your pocket
I watch you stuggling to stop it
From getting out in the open
Your heart's desire awoken
But it's written in shallow waters
Your hand is taking its orders
From someone scared to discover
That we're all as mad as eachother
We're all as mad as eachother
Everybody knows
You're breaking and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
Your body's a mirror
No words could say it clearer
Like silent poems on your forehead
That turn dishonest and sordid
And there's only one thing you can do
Let it live and let it through
It's time to open...
Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
It always had to be perfect
It always had to look easy
So tell me now was it worth it?
You stand in the doorway
With a bag full of words that you can't say
Your distant eyes on the tv
Your distant eyes won't see me
But it's written across the blue skies
You're scared to stumble and realise
That underneath the cover
We're all as frail as eachother
We're all as frail as eachother
Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
It doesn't have to look good
And you don't have to be perfect
It doesn't even have to be easy
No, if you're open it's worth it
Your hand in your pocket
I watch you stuggling to stop it
From getting out in the open
Your heart's desire awoken
But it's written in shallow waters
Your hand is taking its orders
From someone scared to discover
That we're all as mad as eachother
We're all as mad as eachother
Everybody knows
You're breaking and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
Your body's a mirror
No words could say it clearer
Like silent poems on your forehead
That turn dishonest and sordid
And there's only one thing you can do
Let it live and let it through
It's time to open...
Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
