about

Track 6 of Black Sky Thinking

lyrics

You can have anything you want, but you can’t have me
Smile, make hearts dissolve, and charm the birds out of the trees
Speak, persuade the dead to leave the ground, queue up at your door, beg to be the one
You could have had me once before, that time has gone
You can hold me captive when you dream but it won’t come true
Cry, as nations mourn and men wear black, grieving for you
Laugh and light the sky with sparkling fire, brightening the day, embarrassing the sun
Try to hold me captive when you dream but I won’t be the one
You can have anything you want, but you can’t have me
Smile, make hearts dissolve, and charm the birds out of the trees
Speak, persuade the dead to leave the ground, queue up at your door, beg to be the one
You could have had me once before, that time has gone

Beyond The Static
by Nick Piunti

supported by 11 fans who also own “You Can't Have Me”

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
