Jay Brannan - Can t Have It All

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.

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, 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 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, Spring, Summer, or Fall?

It s driving me crazy...

That I can t have it all.

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?

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, Spring, Summer, or Fall?

It s driving me crazy...

That I can t have it all.
