We Can Never Have It All Lyrics & Chords By Old English

I call your name weâll figure out
If every cloudâs a sacred shroud
Weâll grin and bury breathing doubt
Lose track of all weâre left without
Thereâs a code in the way that you look
And a smile upon your face iâm reading like a burning book
And youâre throwing out a line but always cutting off the hook
You may have given me an inch but itâs much less than you took
I canât explain weâre in a drought
The words are stuck inside my mouth
Weâll desecrate and kill the peace
If we start saying things we mean
Thereâs a cost to these imperfect goals
And it might leave me with nothing but iâll gladly pay the toll
And ignore all the warnings scribbled on the washroom stalls
As they mumble like a storm cloud we can never have it all
These are the words of the prophets sealing cracks in the wall
And the screaming of the teenage girls through all the shopping malls
We can never have it all
