Live and Die Lyrics
All it will take is just one moment and
you can say goodbye to how we had it planned
Fear like a habit run like a rabbit out and away
through the screen door to the unknown
and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
Where do you reside,
when you hide how can I find ya
Cause I wanna send you and more.
I wanna tempt you and more.
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it.
You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same
Live like a pharaoh
sing like a sparrow anyway
even if there is no land or love in sight
we bloom like roses lead like moses out and away
through the bitter crowd to the daylight
and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
can you tell that I
am alive let me prove it to ya.
You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same
I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
where do you reside
when you hide how can I find ya
cause I wanna save you and more
I wanna tempt you and more
can you tell that I am alive let me prove it
You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I
you and I
you can say goodbye to how we had it planned
Fear like a habit run like a rabbit out and away
through the screen door to the unknown
I want to find you and more
Where do you reside,
when you hide how can I find ya
Cause I wanna send you and more.
I wanna tempt you and more.
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it.

I'm so excited for their new album!! The Avett Bros. are amazing!
So badly do I want to sing this to someone! It's all about meeting someone who you can see such potential in growing a relationship with. There's such hopefulness to transform this initial attraction into something so deep.
I love how this song captures the feeling of infatuation for someone you feel is just like you.
Love this song - I don't know if if's about meeting someone or infatuation as mentioned previously or not - because of the first verse I've always heard it as a (kind of uplifting) funeral song....
As with another song I've commented on. I don't think this is about the obvious. It could be a family member or a friend.
@Isabell1977 I agree that the meaning cannot be obvious and I like the previous comment re the "uplilfting funeral song." It always makes me think they are talking about God: esp the "where to you reside when you hide" line.
