Jay Brannan Can't Have It All

So, my good close friend *, Jay Brannan, has come out with a new music video. It's for his song, "Can't Have It All". I just saw it right now for the first time and I really love it. I've loved the song and it's cool to see a video to it now. Whenever I hear the song it takes me back to seeing him perform live, because I believe it might've been the one he actually opened the night with the last time I went to see him. :) So here it is...with lyrics right after...



(* by "good close friend" I mean in my imagination lol)

CAN'T HAVE IT ALL
music and lyrics by Jay Brannan

applying moisturizer in the microwave window
for the tenth time, he shouldve called me an hour ago
would he be here with flowers if i lived in arizona?

they say theres no love left in the big cities, its kinda true
i guess youll find me coming soon to a small town near you
ill sell my guitar so i can by myself a tractor

fuck this, this cant be my life
i moisturized ten times tonight
why cant i sit down and write,
bring this question to light?

chorus
do you want a lover, or do you want a life?
one hand or the other, the butter or the bread knife?
do you choose winter, spring, summer, or fall?
its driving me crazy that i cant have it all

if these walls could talk, theyd probably cry out for mercy
til im outlined in chalk, ill be romantically thirsty
so i drink and drink from the proverbial time sink

fuck this, this cant be my life
tears flowing in full force tonight
why cant i sit down and write,
bring this question to light?

chorus

do we hold the future, or does it come in peace?
and if its in my hands, are you sure it should be in brittle hands like these?
life, love, and the pursuit of all the things they promised me
can i have all of the above? are the best things in life truly free?

chorus
