"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
