Quotes And Lyrics
"something i can never have" - Nine Inch Nails
"What Do I Have To Do?" - Stabbing Westward
- Pearl Jam -
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
They spread out before me, as her body once did
All of my horizons revolved around her sun (as the earth to the sun)
Now, each year I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
And all I taught her was everything
I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
And twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now, my bitter hands
Grate on broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
Oh, the love gone bad
Turn my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am or will ever be
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky
But why?
Why?
Why, can't it be?
Oh, can't it be mine?
- Bob Seger -
Took a look down a westbound road, right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two wheeler, I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City, stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we and a few drinks, and I told he what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment, then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing, I knew what she was thinking
Roll, roll me away, won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed, and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word, we just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top, starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east, Icould go west, it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin', and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
Roll, roll me away, I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin', keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded, I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right
- Nine Inch Nails -
i still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart
grey would be the color if i had a heart
come on and tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
in this place it seams like such a shame
though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be
come on and tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make it all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
i just want something i can never have

It's easier not to be wise
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
You'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate, yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this!
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
It's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve
alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate, yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this!
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you, yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you, yeah
oh, now, we took it back too far,
only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn
all come running back to you, all these rhythms that you hide
only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn
yeah, yeah, yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this!
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you, yeah
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you, oh
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you

You make it hard to breathe
It's as if I'm suffocating
And when you're next to me
I can feel your heartbeat through my skin
It makes me sad to think
This could all be for nothing
I wish there was a way
A way for you to see inside of me
I've never felt this way
About anyone or anything
Tell me
What do I have to do
To make you happy?
What do I have to do
To make you understand?
What do I have to do
To make you want me?
But, if I can't make you want me
What do I have to do?
I know exactly what you're thinking
But I swear this time I will not let you down
I'm not as selfish as I used to be
That was a part of me that never made me proud
Right now I think I would try anything
Anything at all to keep you satisfied
God I hope you see what losing you would do to me
All I want is one more chance
Tell me
What do I have to do
To make you happy?
What do I have to do
To make you understand?
What do I have to do
To make you want me?
But, if I can't make you want me
Just tell me, tell me
What do I have to do
To make you want me?
What do I have to do
To make you understand?
What do I have to do
To make you love me?
And, if I can't make you love me
Just tell me, what do I have to do?
To forget about you?
