lyrics

We all want what we can't have
We all want what we can't have

A hundred words to tell this story
about a girl and the boy before me
A song on repeat for two hours
I grit my teeth and I wish it was ours

Track eleven: 3:48
Same old chorus and guitar fade
Like a Band-aid, make it quick
Rip off the knob and enjoy the static

We all want what we can't have
We all want what we can't have
We all want what we can't have

'Cause we all
live and die on the radio
love and cry on the radio
wave goodbye on the radio
'Cause we all
'Cause we all
'Cause we all
wave goodbye on the radio

These hundred steps that lay before me:
I'd walk 'em all if you'd see what I see
but just like a stone, alone I sit
skipping our song when I see you with him

Counting seconds: 4:38
The record ends, but the feelings don't fade
Take a deep breath; hold it in
I let it out, knowing what could have been

'Cause we all
live and die on the radio
love and cry on the radio
wave goodbye on the radio
'Cause we all
'Cause we all
'Cause we all
wave goodbye on the radio

We all want, we all want
what we cannot have
We all want it
We all want what we can’t have

'Cause we all
live and die on the radio
love and cry on the radio
wave goodbye on the radio
'Cause we all
'Cause we all
'Cause we all
wave goodbye on the radio
