cant have it all

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]

A talented song writer but I'm not so sure about the voice . Maybe some formal vocal training would broaden the range?

lololol! Perfectlyjust, while your intentions are probably well meaning... just no. Jay is doing okay by himself and probably better off for it. You get to have a lot more creative control doing things your own way as compared to being owned by a label and stuff also... Jay is his own person who writes his own type of music that a lot of people appreciate. He doesn't need to do anything other than what he's doing, which is making awesome heartfelt music that he wants to be making. Implying that he should model after miley cyrus... or 1D is ridiculous lol, not everyone goes into music to be the most popular and always have cameras on them. I can almost guarantee if Jay signed with some big hot shot record company they would definitely try and limit the amount of homo in his music which for a lot of his fan base is really important. It's part of his identity as well as a lot of his fans, thats why we love him so much is he is one of the few voices who sing about things other lgbt people can relate to. Kind of a long rant but yeah, Jay is amazing and I love him for everything he is, shy, self loathing at times, silly, gay, tall, soft spoken, beautiful, and musically talented and real.

well maybe he could do a miley cyrus cover. just something, just ANYTHING thats not slit your wrist music. his lyrics are definitely a bit depressing, and stage presence/charisma negligible.

justin beiber is not modern its unfortunantly the music that the waisted youth listens to that doesnt make it modern all that kind of music is utter trash its not catchy fun or cute its unnecessary noise and needs to be stoped
