GAVIN DEGRAW LYRICS - Relative

"Relative"



A flashlight

Isn't quite sunlight

But any light at all seems bright

When you're looking in the dark



A wet-dream

Isn't the real thing

It isn't really anything

But at least it makes a spark



And all is relative

Eveything is relative

Yes, it is



[Chorus]

It's all about

The way we receive it

How much we believe it

Depending on the life you lead

If you lead it

Compare it to yourself

Compared to someone else

You care



And if you took

The threads in your closet

The cash in your wallet

The color of the skin in your blood

And how you got it

Compare it to yourself

Compared to someone else

You care



Pre-made

Isn't quite homemade

But pre-made with a home name

Is almost just the same

Your girlfriend

Isn't your best friend

But any friend is best when

You're freezing in the rain

And all is relative

Everything is relative



You're either underweight or you're unfit

Overdressed or underzipped

Too social or you're just too shy

Too depressed or you're too high

As night to day and day to night

Rich and poor and black and white

All is relative

Everything's relative

All is relative...



[Chorus]
