Lyrics
I got some oil and some matches
I possess some resources and a means to ignite
You know I will do anything for you
Expressing willingness to do anything for the other person
So whether for light or for ashes
Whether for illumination or as a symbol of destruction
All of us burn for something
All individuals have desires or passions
The greatest risk, the greatest wonder
The most significant danger and the most extraordinary experience
Some of the time we are stolen
At times, we experience being taken from or robbed of something
Most of us live our lives as thieves
Many of us lead lives marked by stealing or dishonesty
So how could you know that I could be trusted
Expressing doubt about being trustworthy
How could you know that I just know that I won't leave
Assuring that the speaker won't abandon or leave
Always waiting for someone to be sure
Consistently anticipating someone else to be certain or decisive
Always praying that we'll be ready for
Consistently hoping to be prepared for something
The greatest wish, the going under
The most desired outcome, the act of sinking or succumbing
The greatest risk, the greatest wonder
The most significant danger and the most extraordinary experience
You cannot give somebody joy
You cannot provide happiness to someone
But you can find it by trying
You can discover joy through effort or attempting
You can't save someone from death
You cannot prevent someone's death
But you can love them while they're dying
But you can show love and support during their dying moments
Love them while they're dying
Reiterating the importance of expressing love during the process of dying
Always waiting for someone to be sure
Consistently anticipating someone else to be certain or decisive
Always praying that we'll be ready for
Consistently hoping to be prepared for something
Yeah I'm ready, I'm ready
Expressing readiness and eagerness
So give me something
Requesting or expecting something
The greatest wish the going under
The most desired outcome, the act of sinking or succumbing
The greatest risk the greatest wonder
The most significant danger and the most extraordinary experience
The greatest risk the greatest wonder
