The Relatively Fair |
All my friends are in New York and California |
Trying for something big, what it is well they won’t bore ya |
They just want to make a mark that’ll stay around when they’re gone |
All my friends are actors and musicians |
Myself included, man, this ain’t no inquisition |
If there isn’t beauty in a world like this then what have we got? |
But I don’t want to wake up one morning with just a bible and a cot |
When I was younger I made my mother worry |
She said «Will, you’d better study in a hurry; |
You don’t want to come to one day in a job that you hate» |
When I was younger I passed the time so slowly |
I had a hunger, but for what I could only |
Guess the root of the cause of my distractions one by one |
My dumb teenage heart like the surface of the sun |
What if every florid metaphor is running kinda thin? |
What if I already know how all of this is gonna end? |
What if all I really need is for my head to be up high |
Above the trenches and the vapors, the sirens and the sky |
I’ve never known you, and chances are I never will |
But if you hear this, know that I love you still |
You’re the most beautiful girl, you’re the bravest man there is |
I’ve never known you, but you know everything that I’ve known |
You know the balance to be struck when you’re all alone |
There’s a need to be happy and there’s a need to be safe |
And you’d better pick one and hope that the other gets to stay |
But what if all you want one day’s a husband or a wife |
Just a job, just a house, just a child, just a life |
Would you give up the poison call of fame to drink up the last air? |
Would you forsake the absolute for the relatively fair? |
