It's better to want you than to have you The fragile things will break if they fall It's easy to call you when I can't get through But everything is cool overall It's better to want you than to have you Your taste is just too rich for my tongue You're so easy to get to when I won't let you See the travesty that we could become What you see with your eyes, it's a lie So what if we give up Selling out for the summer Fighting the heat and learning to sleep alone So what if we've got love We can live without it Your heart's gonna burn but you'll learn to let it go Your words are golden, but we are corroding Save it for when we are apart I can't control it when we're in the moment But you hold me down with every beat of your heart We've woven all our patterns and we've savored all we've sewn But where do we go from knowing every inch of each other? It's better to want you than to have you I just keep telling myself over and over What you see with your eyes, it's a lie So what if we give up Selling out for the summer Fighting the heat and learning to sleep alone So what if we've got love We can live without it Your heart's gonna burn but you'll learn to let it go You gotta learn to let it go
