Absolute Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this all we get to be absolute?

[Chorus]
Quiet, but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear

[Verse 2]
It's a kiss that sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battleships
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this all we get to be absolute?

[Chorus]
Quiet, but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear
Quiet, but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear
[Bridge]
All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken


[Chorus]
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
Quiet, but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything 'cause I want you here
There is something here
There is something here

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
