Can't Have It All Lyrics - Jay Brannan
Applying moisturizer in the microwave window
For the tenth time, he should've called me an hour ago
Would he be here with flowers if I lived in Arizona?
They say there's no love left in the big cities, it's kinda true
I guess you'll find me coming soon to a small town near you
I'll sell my guitar so I can by myself a tractor
Fuck this, this can't be my life
I moisturized ten times tonight
Why can't I sit down and write,
Bring this question to light?
[CHORUS:]
Do you want a lover, or do you want a life?
One hand or the other, the butter or the bread knife?
Do you choose winter or spring, summer or fall?
It's driving me crazy that I can't have it all
If these walls could talk, they'd probably cry out for mercy
'til I'm outlined in chalk, I'll be romantically thirsty
So I drink and drink from the proverbial time sink
Fuck this, this can't be my life
Tears flowing in full force tonight
Why can't I sit down and write,
Bring this question to light?
[CHORUS]
Do we hold the future, or does it come in peace?
And if it's in my hands, are you sure it should be in brittle hands like these?
Life, love, and the pursuit of all the things they promised me
Can I have all of the above? Are the best things in life truly free?
[CHORUS]
For the tenth time, he should've called me an hour ago
Would he be here with flowers if I lived in Arizona?
They say there's no love left in the big cities, it's kinda true
I guess you'll find me coming soon to a small town near you
I'll sell my guitar so I can by myself a tractor
Fuck this, this can't be my life
I moisturized ten times tonight
Why can't I sit down and write,
Bring this question to light?
[CHORUS:]
Do you want a lover, or do you want a life?
One hand or the other, the butter or the bread knife?
Do you choose winter or spring, summer or fall?
It's driving me crazy that I can't have it all
If these walls could talk, they'd probably cry out for mercy
'til I'm outlined in chalk, I'll be romantically thirsty
So I drink and drink from the proverbial time sink
Fuck this, this can't be my life
Tears flowing in full force tonight
Why can't I sit down and write,
Bring this question to light?

Do we hold the future, or does it come in peace?
And if it's in my hands, are you sure it should be in brittle hands like these?
Life, love, and the pursuit of all the things they promised me
Can I have all of the above? Are the best things in life truly free?
[CHORUS]
