War Song #1:

You can’t just hold me when you want to hold me
You can’t just kiss me when you want to kiss me
You can’t just want me when you want to want me
Cause I want more than that

At Vinero’s I wanted half of a half of a cheesecake
But they only make tarts in the size I thought I could take
You said OK and got yourself a canola
Who cares about the fat

And they locked the gated fifteen minutes early
I walked four extra blocks in the cold
Up five flights to my overpriced apartment
And these stairs are getting old

But you don’t want what I want
And they don’t sell what I want
And I don’t live where I want
And I guess that’s not so bad
But if I had what I wanted one year ago
Then I would not be here and I wouldn’t know
That the more I have the more I need
And the more I want the more there is to dream

And I want to have dinner with john cusak
I want to play with amy man
I want to take pieces of all my old boyfriends
And make the perfect man

And I want to win the lottery
And be absolved of all my student loans
And then I want to take every penny
And make sure that everyone has a home

And I want to have tea with the president
At the white house in DC
And send out a special invite to CNN and ABC
And talk about the mothers sending their kids across the sea
Fighting to justify our ignorance and fuel our SUV’s

But I can’t have what I want
And I can’t win what I want
And I can’t ignore what I want
And I guess that’s not so bad

But if I had what I wanted one year ago
Then I would not be here and I wouldn’t know
That the more I have the more I need
And the more I want the more there is to dream

Yes if I had what I wanted one year ago
Then I would not be here and I wouldn’t know you
