Relative - Gavin DeGraw

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

everything is relative.

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 pick 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 yourself

and someone else, you care

everything is relative

Pre made isn’t quite homemade

but premade 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.

chorus

You’re either underweight or you’re unfit

underdressed or overzipped

too social or you’re just too shy

too depressed or you’re too high

night to day

day to night

rich to poor

black and white

everything is relative
