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
