Why do we always want the things we cannot have The lovers or positions or possessions for that matter Why do we always want the things just out of reach And happily smile while left still wanting And forcing a smile while left still wanting I’m not gonna cry, I’m gonna leave that all to you My lover in position or possession or whatever I’m not gonna die, at least not in the flesh But thoroughly just suffocate still wanting Mentally just suffocate still wanting Why do we always want the one we cannot have Like you want me and I want someone else who wants another Why do we always want the one just out of reach And try to gain an arm’s length ev’ry time If only ‘twas an arm’s length ev’ry time E.P.S.
