Ben Lee - Everybody Dies lyrics

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
