ITT: I rewrite The Haves
Posted: Wed February 16, 2022 10:08 pm
The Haves
when we wake up,
it just might be
the first of many blows
that we'll receive
but today,
what we need, it can wait;
we have what we need
we'll want what we need;
we'll need what's above;
we'll find ourselves reaching
for safety above;
but today, we're enough
all of The Haves,
they could not
hold a candle
to what we've got;
they want what's ours,
I just want you;
please try to trust me,
I beg of you
I wish that you knew
that I know
when you're hurting;
after all these years, I know
this light synthesis,
where we share
every one of our senses;
we swim the same
unconditional love
has been our sin;
but that's said and done
we'll need what we need;
we'll need what's above,
we'll see ourselves reaching
for safety above;
but today, we're enough
all of The Haves,
they could not
hold a candle
to what we've got;
the ceiling so high
when you're down on the floor,
just to claw at some air
is fucking crippling, sure
all those yesterdays ago,
when we should have met;
so hard, so hard
not to drown in regret;
but look up; we have
a long stretch of life
and love to live yet
we'll need what we need;
we'll need what's above,
we'll find ourselves reaching
for safety above;
but today, we're enough
all of The Haves,
they could not
hold a candle
to what we've got;
they want what's ours,
I just want you;
please try to trust me,
I beg of you
all of The Haves,
with all that they do;
let's flip a finger:
"fucker, fuck you"
"fucker, fuck you"
"fucker, fuck you"
they ain't got us
(music pauses - Stone introduces a heavier riff for a repeated refrain section)
home is where The Haves are (x4)
FIN
