Tim Kasher - Everybody lyrics

Everybody's riding the ferris wheel And the pinnacle's gorgeous Everybody's trying to stay focused To live in the moment Once the ride is done they're back in line again But the carnival closes at nine And it's a quarter to five There's a lump in their throats ‘Cause they know this is it Still they paste on a smile And hold each other a little closer Everybody's saddled with sadness A longing they can't quit Everybody knows this is transient They're trying not to notice This spinning world has left them dizzy and anxious This ephemeral banquet of bliss Left its taint on our lips Must we all wait in line? We're all bystanders of our own lives, our own woes And it's k**ing us I just want to relive that feeling of overwhelming again And again is all I ask I used to want a future perfect Now all I want is past Everybody's looking for closure In a sea of disorder Everybody's swimming in oblivion Feeling insignificant
