And you can't blame yourself Another wasted afternoon Them tears won't dry themselves, Make it hard to see the room And every step I make There's one more there ahead of me Every firm handshake My bones are breaking in my sleeves And you can't have it all But you take it anyway The night begins to fall As you lose another day Behavior of the day Turns into habit of the week Every month is near The year's getting away from me And you can't have it all But you take it anyway The writing's on the wall When it should be on the page Won't you come And save me Save me And you can't blame yourself Another wasted afternoon These cigarettes taste like hell Make it hard to see the room -------- Waiting on the wave That breaks and roll right over me I've forgotten how to swim Still remember how to breathe And you can't have it all But you take it anyway The shades already drawn As you lose another day Waiting on a wave Saying, you can't have it all
