Birds That Flew and Ships That Sailed Songtext
von Passenger

I always want what I can′t get
It's always close but not quite yet
For the most part I forget
What I wanted anyway

I always see the things I′m not
And look right past the things I've got
For the most part I forgot what I wanted anyway

I think of all the things I've done
What I do and what′s to come
Of all the choices that I make
The chances that I didn′t take

Of all the dreams that tried and failed
Birds that flew and ships that sailed
Of all the love that's lived and died
Makes me wonder why I

Always want what I can′t get
It's always close but not quite yet
For the most part I forget
What I wanted anyway


I always see the things I′m not
And look right past the things I've got
For the most part I forgot what I wanted anyway

I think of all the folks I′ve known
How they've changed and how they've grown
Some are flying through the sky
Some are sinking like stone

Of all the memories I keep
Locked away and buried deep
Of all the times I′ve laughed and cried
Makes me wonder why I

Always want what I can′t get
It's always close but not quite yet
For the most part I forget
What I wanted anyway

I always see the things I′m not
And look right past the things I've got
For the most part I forgot what I wanted anyway

What I wanted anyway
What I wanted anyway
What I wanted anyway
