Can't Be Satisfied
Unquenchable Longing: Big & Rich's Tale of Unsatisfied Hearts
Lyrics
As I’m watching you breathing, sleeping in my arms
Expressing the intimacy of observing a loved one peacefully asleep in one's arms.
Empty Champagne glasses on the floor

Holding you close, I’m so far from where we are
Despite physical closeness, feeling emotionally distant or disconnected from the present.
No I can’t, I can’t be satisfied
Expressing an inability to find contentment or fulfillment.
Tell the truth, you’d love it if I lied

The words I love always seem to twist me up inside
Noting the complexity and internal turmoil caused by expressing love verbally.
No I can’t, I can’t be satisfied
Reiterating the dissatisfaction or inability to find complete contentment.
Everything that I love leads me straight to you
Connecting personal passions or interests with a journey that leads to the loved one.
But these tangled sheets can’t keep us in this room
Acknowledging physical closeness but suggesting that it may not be enough to sustain the relationship.

It’s so hard to leave tonight

Guess I’ll leave this heart behind
