"Can't Have It All (Censored)" Lyrics:
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

  • My son is gay and I love him more than ever--- Your music is amazing and I encourage you to futher your career-- you are awesome!!!! I love you, be who you are and know that you are, a wonderful and creative individual,,,,,,, Love mama Grant

  • @shota1023 No, he sings from the perspective of a gay man. How else do you expect him to express himself? Sing and write songs about the gender he's not attracted to? Not everyone fits neatly into hetero-normative categories, so don't presume that if he's singing about a man, that his perspective must be female. Men can sing about loving other men, and our feelings can be as genuine and intense as heterosexuals' feelings.
