Everybody Knows Video (MV)

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 each other
We're all as frail as each other

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 struggling 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 it's orders
From someone scared to discover
That we're all as mad as each other
We're all as mad as each other

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

Your body's a mirror
Words can't 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, open, open, open . . .

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