[Intro: Crackling vinyl static, a cheap Casio synth beep, slow acoustic guitar pluck] [Verse 1] [Fragile, whispered male vocals, close to mic] I cannot have it all I am held by invisible walls Stuck in the shape of a room Even when I move Every door knows my name And shuts before I get in [Pre-Chorus: Whistling musical saw, soft Mellotron chords] I cannot have it all (Cannot have it all...) [Chorus: Gentle chamber pop, sad pedal steel guitar, swelling strings] Invisible walls I am locked, I am stuck And I cannot fall through Those Invisible walls I turn and turn again (again...) And nothing lets me through [Verse 2] [Slightly distorted vocal filter, dusty lo-fi drum machine beat] The air feels thick when I try to move too fast Something pushes back before I even start I map these hallways in my head at night Wake up in the same place where I fell apart [Pre-Chorus: Whistling musical saw, soft Mellotron chords] I cannot have it all (Cannot have it all...) [Chorus: Gentle chamber pop, sad pedal steel guitar, swelling strings] Invisible walls I am locked, I am stuck And I cannot fall through Invisible walls I turn and turn again (again...) And nothing lets me through [Verse 3] [Suddenly stripped back, just a creaking acoustic guitar] I am trapped by unseen I reach but never touch the other side Hands press flat against what can't be seen Every step I take just pulls me tighter in [Sudden explosion of beautiful indie-rock fuzz guitar noise] Like swimming through a current made of glass [Outro: Music starts to disintegrate, tape hiss, slowing down] I cannot have it all (I cannot have it all) It all… (it all…) [End: Fading radio static, distant bird chirp, tape clicks off]
