Ed Harcourt
I Can’t Give You What You Want
[Verse 1]
I’m so far away
Far across the sea
If this life’s a dream
Don’t bother waking me
She calls me in the night
I’m in some strangers home
I feel her next to me
But I still feel so alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Something heavy in the air
Something weighing on my mind
I can hear a song
That’s softly calling

[Chorus]
Siren singing
Pulling me in
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
Our world keeps turning
Hearts keep burning
But I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
[Verse 2]
She’s so far away
Rises as I sleep
She goes about her day
Wondering where I’ll be
And if I’m wasting time
Writing useless poems
It keeps her up till dawn
Because she doesn’t know

[Pre-Chorus]
Something heavy in the air
Something weighing on my mind
I can hear a song
That’s softly calling

[Chorus]
Siren singing
Pulling me in
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
Our world keeps turning
Hearts keep burning
But I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
[Bridge]
When it all burns down around me
I’m not giving in
When it all burns down around me
I’m not giving in

[Chorus]
Siren singing
Pulling me in
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
Our world keeps turning
Hearts keep burning
But I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
(Ooh)
I can’t give you what you want
I can’t give you what you want
