Why Do I Always Want The Things That I Can't Have Lyrics
[00:24.46] I've been looking for love in all the wrong places
[00:31.01] Seeing your eyes in strangers' faces
[00:36.92] Searching for God in all of my vices
[00:43.23] Staying out 'til the sun lit rises
[00:48.75] I, I light a cigarette, call myself a cab
[00:56.03] If only you were here, it wouldn't be so bad
[01:02.27] Why do I always want the things that I can't have?
[01:11.60] It's so sad
[01:15.20] I've been dancing all night and my feet are hurting
[01:21.66] Taking the pills, but they're still not working
[01:27.58] Trying to get by in this lonely city
[01:33.30] I'm leaving tonight, do you wanna come with me?
[01:39.45] I, I know this little place that we could go relax
[01:46.75] Walk and run our fingers through the tips of the tall grass
[01:52.85] Why do I always want the things that I can't have?
[02:02.25] It's so sad
[02:06.25] Storms start to rise, helicopters are in the skies
[02:16.38] I feel this joy, but then it dies
[02:22.44] Why doesn't anybody realise we're on the edge of paradise?
[02:34.01] We're on the edge of paradise
[02:41.08] I've been staring at screens, my eyes are aching
[02:47.52] Losing my faith in this world we're making
[02:53.32] Listening to my father scream and
[02:59.24] Laid on the bathroom floor just dreaming
[03:04.46] Of a time, a time we will look back on all of this and laugh
[03:12.07] And slowly piece together all the bits of broken glass
[03:18.40] Why do I always want all the things I can't have?
[03:27.78] It's so sad, it's so sad
[03:32.18]
[00:31.01] Seeing your eyes in strangers' faces
[00:36.92] Searching for God in all of my vices
[00:43.23] Staying out 'til the sun lit rises
[00:48.75] I, I light a cigarette, call myself a cab
[00:56.03] If only you were here, it wouldn't be so bad
[01:02.27] Why do I always want the things that I can't have?
[01:11.60] It's so sad
[01:15.20] I've been dancing all night and my feet are hurting
[01:21.66] Taking the pills, but they're still not working
[01:27.58] Trying to get by in this lonely city
[01:33.30] I'm leaving tonight, do you wanna come with me?
[01:39.45] I, I know this little place that we could go relax
[01:46.75] Walk and run our fingers through the tips of the tall grass
[01:52.85] Why do I always want the things that I can't have?
[02:02.25] It's so sad
[02:06.25] Storms start to rise, helicopters are in the skies
[02:16.38] I feel this joy, but then it dies
[02:22.44] Why doesn't anybody realise we're on the edge of paradise?

[03:27.78] It's so sad, it's so sad
