YOU ALWAYS WANT WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE

YOU ALWAYS WANT WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE


the pains of reality are gone
it's time for another dream
dream dream dream
here i go
i don't have to wait for you
you're here now
i know because i see you
kiss me hold my hand
do anything to prove it
oh no your nonfiction presence
is capturing my soul

i know that people want to live right
and you and me are no exception
if i can't have you every morning
i'll lose my senses of direction

where will i go
how will i get there
who will be waiting for my arrival
will it be real
or just remembered
you always want what you don't have

big deal i got it
now what do i do
i liked it better when i was without it
it had more meaning before i found it

what can i do
am i contented
who am i searching for satisfaction
is anything real
or just described
you always want what you don't have

now that i'm without you
i regret i took advantage of
this special opportunity i had
to place my arms around you

what more can i do
just to make my dreams come true
