Everybody Knows

Everybody knows death don't mean to take,
Like a rattlesnake we come to find.
Take me by the hand it ain't psysical,
Running from it's demands, we try
And everybody knows that is just the way it takes us
Lifts us up & makes us leave the ones we love

So, take me for a ride, like a wildfire,
Cross an ever-wilder path of light
And I'll try my best now not to fight,
Willingly beside, you're what I want tonight...

Take me, love-drunk, like a party-hopping
Teenage whore
No, I ain't afraid now, I'm sunk & you leave
Me coming back for more
And everybody's trying to make some conversation
Maybe find a reason, some way to hold on

So take me for a ride like a wildfire,
Cross an ever-wilder path of light
And I'll try my best now not to fight,
Willingly beside; you're what I want tonight...

Wind cries underneath the dark sighs
Mixing with the moonlight, all intoxicate me
Lift me up & make me see the other side of what's right
I know I can love you tonight...

I believe in taking, pushing to the limits
Like a candle burning too bright
And you know it's made me what I am
Maybe you don't understand, this is my life
And now you're saying:"Why kid, all these conversations,
Making me so tired", I want to know you know me

So take me for a ride like a wildfire
Cross an ever-wilder path of light
And I'll try my best now not to fight
Willingly beside, you're what I want tonight

Please don't leave me waiting
I've waited for too long now
Take me where I wanna go
Take me to the sky...
