Lyrics
Band? I write lyrics and try to find someone to write the music.
Story behind the song
Ah, just a lyric sung to give a hint of what I was hearing when writing it.
Lyrics
Why Can't We Have it All
Sally was the center
Of Charlie’s little world
Held the sun in the palm of her hand
Like an oyster holds a pearl
She rose to such a height
She could never let him down
Charlie’s nowhere to be found
As Sally finally hits the ground
Arden was the answer
To Patty’s every prayer
He had an apartment and a job
Didn’t seem to have a care
She wondered what kind of God
Would have given her so much hate
When she caught Arden up late
With a girl in apartment eight
Why can't we have it all
Why can't we have it all
No, No, No
Why can't we have it all
Why can't we have it all
No, no, no, no,
Everyone has someone
They’d give everything
And that someone would give anything
Not to leave them in such pain
The world won’t stop its turning
And tomorrow won’t be the same
It doesn’t have a name
There's no one to blame
Why can't we have it all
Why can't we have it all
No, No, No
Why can't we have it all
Why can't we have it all
No, no, no, no,
Ulysses had his Helen
He sailed within her spell and
Defeated all his demons
Two decades until he fell in
The Odyssey of love begins
Our heart answers the call
There’s no love too small
Why can’t we have it all
