It always had to look good
 It always had to be perfect
 It always had to look easy
 So tell me now was it worth it?

 You stand in the doorway
 With a bag full of words that you can't say
 Your distant eyes on the tv
 Your distant eyes won't see me
 But it's written across the blue skies
 You're scared to stumble and realise
 That underneath the cover
 We're all as frail as eachother
 We're all as frail as eachother

 Everybody knows
 You're falling and it shows
 Nothing stays where nothing grows
 And everybody knows
 Yeah everybody knows

 It doesn't have to look good
 And you don't have to be perfect
 It doesn't even have to be easy, no
 No, if you're open it's worth it

 Your hand in your pocket
 I watch you stuggling to stop it
 From getting out in the open
 Your heart's desire awoken
 But it's written in shallow waters
 Your hand is taking its orders
 From someone scared to discover
 That we're all as mad as eachother
 We're all as mad as eachother

 Everybody knows
 You're breaking and it shows
 Nothing stays where nothing grows
 And everybody knows

 Your body's a mirror
 No words could say it clearer
 Like silent poems on your forehead
 That turn dishonest and sordid
 And there's only one thing you can do
 Let it live and let it through
 Yeah it's time to open...

 Everybody knows
 You're falling and it shows
 Nothing stays where nothing grows
 And everybody knows
 Yeah everybody knows
