All Things Are 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
