Out in the garden
There's half of heaven
We're only bluffing
We're not ones busting through walls
But they've told us
unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
He's gonna wangle
A way to get out of it
She's an excuse and a witness
Who'll talk when he's called
But they've told us
unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
We can't have it all
I caught a glimpse of God
All shining and bright
Suddenly my feet are mud of feet
It all goes slo mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not til I'm ready for you
Not til I'm ready for you, ohh ohh
Can I have it all?
I try to get nearer
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way
It's a plank in the eye
With a camel
Who's trying to get through it
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all right now?
I pull out the plank and say
Thank you for yanking me back
To the fact that there's
Always something to distract
Sometimes it gets hard
to know if I'm doing it right
Can I have it all?
Can I have it all?
Can I have it all right now? I can't have it all
We have a dream, maybe
Suddenly my feet are mud of feet
It all goes slo mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not til I'm ready for you
Not til I'm ready for you, ohh ohh
Can I have it all?
I won't open boxes
that I am told not to
I'm not Pandora
I'm much more like
That girl in the mirror
between you and me
She don't stand a chance
of getting anywhere at all
Not anywhere at all
No, not a thing
She can't have it all
Mother where are the angels?
I'm scared of the changes
Suddenly my feet are mud of feet
It all goes slo mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not til I'm ready for you
Not til I'm ready for you
Suddenly my feet are mud of feet
It all goes slo mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not til I'm ready for you
Not til I'm ready for you, ohh ohh
Can I have it all, now?
There's half of heaven
We're only bluffing
We're not ones busting through walls
But they've told us
unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
He's gonna wangle
A way to get out of it
She's an excuse and a witness
Who'll talk when he's called
But they've told us
unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
We can't have it all
I caught a glimpse of God
All shining and bright
Suddenly my feet are mud of feet
It all goes slo mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not til I'm ready for you
Not til I'm ready for you, ohh ohh
Can I have it all?
I try to get nearer
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way
It's a plank in the eye

Can I have it all?
Can I have it all right now? I can't have it all

Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not til I'm ready for you
Not til I'm ready for you, ohh ohh
Can I have it all, now?
