The Fray - Absolute

Ive seen this one before, the girl she gets away
Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it
Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

Its a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture
On his wall and its a sailor in a new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken

Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here
Quiet but Im sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

we always hope for things that dont exist.
I'm standing under a white flag

i can get used to noise in the house.
my squirrelthings used to squeak every night,
at 2am or 3am in the morning.
considering they're outside my room,
im always woken up by them.
now they dont.
and now my poodle barks at night.
at 2 or 3am.
ill just wake up, tweet and go back to sleep.

i can get used to bullshit in the house.
when my sis craps around,
ill just laugh.
when my mom flares up,
ill tahan for a while.
sure, it's no problem at all,
because it's once in a while.

i can get used to my lousy skills.
just accept that im not as good as i could get.
with occasional depression,
sure, no problem.

i cannot get used to my dad.
his constant bullshit,
accusations,
shouting,
lazy attitude,
keh kiang buay kiang,
act cool buay cool.
nope,
not once have i accepted it and not once i will.
be grateful for all your parents,
because some people have life much harder than you.

at least you all have lives better than that of a dog.
