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

I'm standing under a white flag

as much as i would like to say im busy,
sometimes its better not to say anything.

because we dont live for others,
that's the wrong thing to do, no matter how tempting it may sound to have what you do revolve around other people.
because as my mom puts it, friends dont last forever.
you do; your family does.

work hard for you and your family and make some occasional space for friends and recreation.
that should be the way.

it might come off strong but that's the way life works.
blunt and pain, for you to pull through stronger and tougher than before.
