Lyrics:We Could Have It All [Version (a)]:
There were no black cats in our path
I've been sidestepping cracks in the pavement
Everybody thought we would be the ones to have it all
I could be the one, we could be the ones to have it
First envy, then comes shame
Then secrets and then blame
The quiet resignation on your face
You've spoken all your truths
You're shaken and you're bruised
There's nothing left to prove
Always, always we could be what you promised me
So close, so close, weren't we? We almost had it
Always, always you can get what you want, but not what you need
Someday, someday you and me
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
There were no second thoughts in my head
There were no monsters underneath our bed
Everybody thought we would be the ones to have it all
We could've been the ones, I should've been the one to have it
First envy, then comes shame
Then secrets and then blame
The quiet resignation on your face
You've spoken all your truths
You're shaken and you're bruised
There's nothing left to prove
Always, always we could be what you promised me
So close, so close, weren't we? We almost had it
Always, always you can get what you want, but not what you need
Someday, someday you and me
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We got nothing left to lose
We got nothing left to prove
You and I know the truth
There was nothing else that we could do
Always, always we could be what you promised me
So close, so close, weren't we? We almost had it
Always, always you can get what you want, but not what you need
Someday, someday you and me
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all
We could have it all, we could have it all
The Song:"We Can Have It All" is a song that Beck co-wrote with Greg Kurstin and Pink, which appears on her 2019 album,
Hurts 2B Human. Beck does not appear on the song, only as a co-writer; I do not know what he contributed. Greg Kurstin plays all the instruments, except drums, which are by Foo Fighters' drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
We first heard of the track when it appeared in the US copyright database in the spring of 2015. It took a few years before it finally came out.
Pink had covered Beck a few years earlier with "
Feel Good Time." Paparazzi caught Beck and his wife going to a Pink concert in 2013 as well.
