T-Bone Burnett - Everything and Nothing Lyrics

Everybody wants to know the truth
But nobody wants to hear it
Everybody has the face, the end
But nobody wants to get near it

Everybody wants peace
But nobody wants to surrender
Everyone lives in the past
But nobody seems to remember

There is nothing as long as never
As everything burns it grows cold
Everybody want to live forever
But nobody wants to get old

Everybody wants to be forgiven
But nobody wants to confess
Everyone longs to hold on to a moment
That no once can ever possess

Everyone wants to be free
But no one can pay the price
Everyone wants to be heard
When no one has asked for advice

There is nothing as long as never
As everything burns it grows cold
Everybody wants to live forever
But nobody wants to get old

Nobody knows the end of the story
We must wait for it to unfold
Everyone lives facing memento mori
But no one wants to get old
Nobody wants to get old
