Greatest Wonder Lyrics
I've got some oil and some matches
you know i would do anything for you
so whether for light or for ashes
all of us burn for something
the greatest risk, the greatest wonder
some of the time we are stolen
most of us live our lives as thieves
so how could you know that i could be trusted?
how could you know that i just know that i won't leave?
always waiting for someone to be sure
always praying that we'll be ready for
the greatest wish, the going under
the greatest risk the greates wonder
you cannot give somebody joy
but you can find it by trying
you cannot save someone from death
but you can love them while theyre dying
always waiting for someone to be sure
always praying that we'll be ready for
yeah i'm ready!
so give me something pure
the bravest wish, the going under
the greatest risk, the greatest wonder
you know i would do anything for you
so whether for light or for ashes
all of us burn for something
most of us live our lives as thieves
so how could you know that i could be trusted?
how could you know that i just know that i won't leave?
always praying that we'll be ready for
the greatest risk the greates wonder
but you can find it by trying
you cannot save someone from death
but you can love them while theyre dying
always praying that we'll be ready for
yeah i'm ready!
so give me something pure
the bravest wish, the going under
the greatest risk, the greatest wonder

yeah, about falling in love, or just letting go of all the shit in your life and in your past and allowing yourself to connect with another human being for a moment.

That is just very nice. :)
a very very good song...
It is about love, but not teenage love. It's about the sort of love where you would die for the other person, and do anything possible to make them happy for as long as possible. I always thought it was about a relationship/marriage where one of them has a terminal illness and is explaining to their partner that you can't save me, but you can love me, make me happy and make what I have left, the best time of my life.

It's about death. The love is for God. How do we reciprocate a love that he has for us when we have lived our lives as theives. When he say's always waiting for someone to be sure, always praying we'll be ready for. Throughout our life we are waiting for a reasurance that there is a God and afterlife. We are always praying that we'll be read for Death, which is the greatest Wonder.
