Lyrics Anyone's Game - Iron & Wine

Anybody born knows how to play this little game
First they light a candle in themselves
They lean it up against the wind and then they run around the rain
Anybody born plays pretty well

If they crawl into another's heart would someone count to ten
Let's just say that's the hardest place to hide
They jump out of their fame and names until the game begins again
They open one another's empty eyes

'Til they rise like ashes off the ground
And fall down like diamonds off the dead
'Til they go as though they're coming back
Take their time like it's all they're gonna get

Anybody born knows how to play this little game
No one can be born too many times
First they kiss their lucky dice and then they dig themselves a grave
They do this until it's killing them to try
(Try)

To rise like ashes off the ground
Fall down like diamonds off the dead
To go as though they're coming back
To take their time like it's all they're gonna get

To rise like ashes off the ground
Fall down like diamonds off the dead

Let's just say that the clues are few
And the last one ends in egg
They bend the map or just turn around
If their life gets in the way

Let's just say, let's just say
That their life gets in the way
Let's just say, let's just say, let's just say
Let's just say, let's just say, let's just say
