Everybody Knows
St. Paul And The Broken Bones Lyrics

You think that your devotion is deeper than the ocean blue
You believe that your loyalty to something or someone is unwavering and deeper than the vastness of the ocean.

You wrap your head around it and talk until you've found it anew
You try relentlessly to wrap your head around something or understand it better by constantly talking about it until you think you have discovered something new.

But the way that you act is so matter of factly untrue
Despite your beliefs and talks, your actions do not seem genuine or truthful, as if they are just a facade.

And every day you show it and everybody knows it but you
Your insincerity is displayed every day and everyone else can see it, except for yourself.

Oh please, don't point the finger at me
Do not blame me or accuse me of being responsible for your actions or flaws.

You've fallen on your own
You have stumbled or experienced a setback on your own without anyone else's intervention.

You can get back up alone
You have the ability to recover and rise again, without any assistance or support from others.

You (you) you (you) you I'm talking to you
The singer is addressing you, the listener, specifically and directly by emphasizing the word 'you'.

Your gears they may be turning your mind it may be yearning for clues
You may be actively thinking and searching for answers or clues to a solution, but still not making progress.

Your fire inside is burning but you never learned to follow through
You may have passion and drive, but lack the ability or knowledge to follow through and achieve your goals successfully.

You think that one day every word that you say will come true
You have an optimistic belief that everything you say or want will eventually come true.

But you reap just what you sow and everybody knows it but you
Your actions will have consequences and you will only receive what you deserve, but you are oblivious to this fact while everyone else realizes it.

Bye bye bye Bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye Bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye Bye bye bye Bye bye bye It's hard to say goodbye When your love is on the rise On the rise On the rise Say goodbye bye bye bye bye my friend
The singer is bidding farewell to someone or something even though it is difficult to do so, especially when you feel like your love or feelings are growing stronger. The repetition of 'bye' reflects the emphasis on goodbyes but also highlights the feeling of reluctance.

Everyone Everyone Everyone knows it but you
Everyone else is aware of your flaws, mistakes, or shortcomings except for you, the person who should acknowledge and work on them.

Everyone Everyone Everyone knows it but you
Repeating the same lyrics in the end conveys the same message that resonates throughout the entire song: that everyone sees what you cannot see or choose to ignore, and it is time to take responsibility and heed their advice.
