I'm not tryin' to claim you, put a stake in your heart
Not tryin' to wish on a single star
I know everything goes
I'm not tryin' to be your only man
I'm not tryin' to pretend I don't understand
I know everyone goes
Yea we're alive for just a moment
And we love for just the moment
I'll be here while I can
But I know everything goes
I'm not tryin' to hang onto every word
I won't catalogue everything that I've heard
I know that every mind goes
I'm not tryin' to be a well-oiled machine
Every gear gives eventually
And I know that every heart goes
Yea we're alive for just the moment
And we love for just a moment
I'll be here while I can
But I know
That everything goes, everything goes, everything goes, everything goes
Turn all the sand into concrete
Turn all the fields into a street
Turn all the rivers to oil and lead
Turn off the thoughts in obedient heads
Turn every virtue into bigotry
Turn me on them, turn them on me
Turn all the ice into a flood
Turn every nation to mushrooms and blood
I know that everything goes
