THE THINGS I ALWAYS WANT Lyrics
(…Three, four)
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 till 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
