Lyrics
Absolute
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've 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 I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear
It's 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 it's 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 I'm 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 I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear
