Lyrics

What You Can?t Have

You thought you wanted the yellow brick road - till you found yourself in oz
And even though it was paved with gold - you were unhappy - just because

So you set you sights on some distant coast - and built castles in the air
And made you way over sea by boat - but the reality couldn't compare

Chorus
I?ve given everything - and still you?re slipping from my grasp
As you sulk in silence - all I can think - is..... You only want what you can?t have

Early summer Lake Chelan - Independence Day
We met round the campfire of our mutual friend Dave

A guitar strummed - we took turns singing as fireworks light the night
For a brief few months looking back - life couldn?t have burned more bright

Chorus

Bridge:
Maybe you?ll go to California - or maybe back to St. Pete?s
Maybe in time you'll find someone - who can make you feel compete

If I ever hear the news - I?ll be the first to raise my glass
Cause I?ve got you figured as someone - who only wants what you can have

Chorus
