Will Stratton - The Relatively Fair Lyrics
Trying for something big, what it is well they won't bore yaThey just want to make a mark that'll stay around when they're goneAll my friends are actors and musiciansMyself included, man, this ain't no inquisitionIf 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 cotWhen I was younger I made my mother worryShe 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 slowlyI had a hunger, but for what I could onlyGuess the root of the cause of my distractions one by oneMy dumb teenage heart like the surface of the sunWhat 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 highAbove the trenches and the vapors, the sirens and the skyI've never known you, and chances are I never willBut if you hear this, know that I love you stillYou're the most beautiful girl, you're the bravest man there isI've never known you, but you know everything that I've knownYou know the balance to be struck when you're all aloneThere's a need to be happy and there's a need to be safeAnd you'd better pick one and hope that the other gets to stayBut what if all you want one day's a husband or a wifeJust a job, just a house, just a child, just a lifeWould you give up the poison call of fame to drink up the last air?Would you forsake the absolute for the relatively fair?
