"Everything we can't have" by Engela Pretorius

Everything we can't have

You don’t look at me like you used to
And I know I don’t smile like I used to
Did we fail to hold on to this table reserved for two?
Where the conversation is bare and empty
and no more excitement breathes within me

CHORUS:
But we always tend to want everything we can’t have
And ten to one we won’t be happy when we get that
So feel free to wish for things to change around you
I’ll blow you a kiss and you’ll realise that your wishes are true
There’s no need for speed limits on an open road, there's no need at all

In-between things crashing, fires burning
we shared a dream
In-between the crazy changes, barefoot conversations
Before we found our ways and
found meaning from our days
We still believed

And after all that we’ve been through
being happy is the least we can do

CHORUS

And I remember our sand castles on the wooden floor
The smile on your face every time I showed up at your door
And I remember the day we decided we will be so much more
The day when we believed we could fly and never fall

CHORUS

Let’s believe that fireworks are magic
and that everything is fantastic
Let’s believe that the world would always stay the same
and that everything will remain

And after all that we’ve been through

being happy is the least we can do

CHORUS

So pure young and fresh it was
when in our hearts we knew we were in the greener grass
So silly yet precious it was
when in our hearts we believed in wishing upon shooting stars

And all I need to do is close my eyes
and we’re dancing somewhere alone
And it’s just nice
no worries, no tears, no lies
Just us two, safe and sound
Celebrating the lost and celebrating the found
as we kiss and love beneath our triangle moon

CHORUS

Fairy tales, oh, happy days
Where love never fails
Fairy tales, oh, happy days
Where love never fails
