This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things Lyrics

Artist: So Many Dynamos
Album: Flashlights

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 was 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.

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.
