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

the scars we have in our lives haunt us;
they appear whenever we see something related,
and they manifest,
like a tumor in your brain;
a parasite.

the scars that i have in my life are immeasurable,
some here, some there.
some recent, some vintage.
but they still exist to haunt me,
to destroy my chess pieces,
to ruin my next move.

because the fact that there's nothing you can do about it,
there's no turning back in time,
no relinquishing those scars.

all i want is to forget them,
but that never happens.
i can only hope to accept them as they are and move on with my life.
but how to do that,
i may never know.

maybe one day,
the solution will come.

but that day isn't anytime soon.
