So Many Dynamos - This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things текст песни

This song is not about romance,
I am not fading out to sunset
Pretend there's no symbolism
In the wine soaking in the carpet
First verse and the line we rehearsed,
"things get better before they're worse"
It's all wrong with the clothes on the lawn,
I'm asleep with the strobe light on

This is why we can't have nice things,
We can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things,
We can't have nice things

Tonight I'm thinking in numbers,
Making lists, bullet points, either/or
After the bridge and the solo
Are we no better off than before?
Three drinks and the radio sings,
"I want you to show me the way"
You ask why we can't have nice things
And I have nothing nice to say

This is why we can't have nice things,
We can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things,
We can't have nice things
