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

this post is dedicated to my pri school classmate.

you were brilliant as far as i could remember.
chinese, especially.
an awesome prefect who did flag raising, announcements, staircase/patrol duty.
always a good girl.
demanding, but you proved yourself and your worth in your demands.

i remember how we used to tease you because we didnt like your demandingness.
but it was all child's play.
fun, laughter, peace and joy.

now you're gone.
and there's now a void where your face in the picture once was.
a void, symbolising not on earth anymore.
may god bless you and take you in with open arms.

serves as a reminder to value your own life because your life is valued by others too.
