Birds That Flew and Ships That Sailed Lyrics by 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 thats 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 stones

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
