Everybody Dies Lyrics - Love Is The Great Rebellion - Ben Lee

Well, my gran was 97 

Lived as long as she was able 

But my dad went kind of suddenly 

On an operating table 

Well, my neighbour went from heartbreak 

'Cause the sun went in his prime 

And I'm more aware than ever 

That I'm here on borrowed time 

But it's alright, 'cause everybody dies 

So tell her what you're feeling when you look into her eyes 

Yeah, it's okay, everyone's afraid 

So wrap your arms around the one you love tonight 

'Cause everybody dies 

And I get that it's not easy 

Now I've got kids of my own 

Understanding we keep changing 

What it means to let things go 

Come and warm up by the fire 

While we sing 'cause we're in love 

But our temporary nature 

Is what we're thinking of 

But it's alright, 'cause everybody dies 

And everybody knows it, baby, don't act so surprised 

Yeah, it's okay, everyone's afraid 

So wrap your arms around the ones you love tonight 

'Cause everybody dies 

And it isn't really over if the Buddhists got it right 

And if a brand new day is dawning after what we thought is nice 

To just hold on to things that matter 

Like being brave, being kind whether we're 

Coming back again or move ahead into the light 

'Cause either way, what we can say for sure today 

My friends, is everybody dies 

And the only thing I worry 

After everything we've shared 

Well, I'll leave you understanding 

Just how much I care 

But it's alright, 'cause everybody dies 

There ain't no way around it although everybody tries 

And it's okay, everyone's afraid 

So if you've never tried it, go and love somebody, anybody 

Wrap your arms around the ones you love tonight 

'Cause everybody dies 

Everybody dies 

Everybody 

Everybody dies
