Lyrics
Verse 1:
It’s not so hard to just say sorry
To pull me off the track if you’re feeling wary
Just throw me back into the river
I’ll swim home, I’ll be there by dinner
It’s not so wild to say what’s on your mind
To hand me the truth, to be a good guy
If you don’t want me in your life, just say it
You’ll never let me know your life, just say it
Pre-chorus 1:
You’re living so far out of range
You want to talk but you couldn’t bear to change
Just throw me back into the river
There are plenty of fish in the river, baby
Chorus 1:
Oh, no, you just can’t have it all
Oh, no, you just can’t have it all
Verse 2:
I’m sat in your palm, you feel big you feel strong
You must know all your power, you must know where you want me
I just wait and I wait for what this could become
I just sit on the sidelines, will you to grow up
I fight every urge, oh, I cannot indulge
If it’s all a dead end why should I carry on?
If you won’t give me any time, just say it
You’ll never make up your mind, just say it
Pre-chorus 2:
You’re living up in outer space
You want to talk as you’re floating away
What’s going on up there in your orbit?
There are so many stars up in your orbit, baby
Chorus 2:
Oh, and you just can’t have them all
Oh, no, you just can’t have them all
Post-chorus:
Oh, no, I just can’t have it all
Even if I thought it was right
It’s all in my mind now, isn’t it?
It’s all in my mind now, isn’t it?
Cause I just can’t have it all
Oh, no, I just can’t have it all—
Bridge:
I can see it now
Oh, I can see it now
Some normalcy, I can see it now
There’s a right way out of this
There’s a train that I cannot miss
There’s a stop that will bring me to bliss
To normalcy, I can see it now
I can see it now
Oh, I can see it now
I can see it now
Some normalcy, I can see it now
Some normalcy, I can see it now
Outro:
All I want right now is for you to drop the leash
To pull me off the track cause I know you don’t want me
You don’t want me like that, just say it
You’ll never make up your mind, just say it
