Everybody Knows

Everybody knows

That you can’t fly from the tree tops

Everybody knows

But I still try so I might drop

And when I look back

I won’t regret spreading my wings

Though I might crash like a stone to the ground

But on my way down

I was flying for a while

Everybody knows

That you can’t breathe underwater

Everybody knows

But I still try and maybe later

I’ll be gasping for air

And though you don’t care at least I have dared

To pull treasures from an ocean of sound

And on my way down

I was drowning with a smile

Everybody knows

That you can’t love love forever

That you can’t change change the weather

And when I look back

I won’t regret giving my heart

Though it might break into pieces in time

At least you were mine

If only for a while

Now everybody knows
