Why Do I Always Want The Things That I Can't Have

歌詞

I've been looking for love in all the wrong places Seeing your eyes in strangers' faces Searching for God in all of my vices Staying out 'til the sun it rises I, I light a cigarette Call myself a cab If only you were here It wouldn't be so bad Why do I always want the things that I can't have? It's so sad I've been dancing all night and my feet are hurting Taking the pills but they're still not working Trying to get by in this lonely city I'm leaving tonight, do you wanna come with me? I, I know this little place That we can go relax Walk and run our fingers through the tips of the tall grass Why do I always want the things that I can't have? It's so sad Storms start to rise Helicopters are in the skies I feel this joy but then it dies Why doesn't anybody realise We're on the edge of paradise? We're on the edge of paradise I've been staring at screens, my eyes are aching Losing my faith in this world we're making Listening to my father screaming Laid on the bathroom floor just dreaming of a time Of a time we will look back On all of this and laugh And slowly piece together all the bits of broken glass Why do I always want the things that I can't have? It's so sad It's so sad
