lyrics

HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE
HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE

This is how starts the story of Arthur
He spends his days waiting for Future
He doesn't know where, he doesn't know when

HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE
HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE

And the days are all different
But they're all the same
And every night his only friend is Present

HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE
HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE

Present is a cool kind of friend
Always calm, everything is always the same
Arthur finds peace at this time, nothing is good, nothing is bad

Past is an attractive person
Charming with a hidden side
The kind who lets his mark, the peace in what went wrong

HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE
HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE

Here comes the day when Future shows up
Arthur doesn't know it yet but his time has come
Past and Present start to mix up
Maybe the Past was better

HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE
HE SHOULD HAVE, HE COULD HAVE, HE WON'T HAVE

Should have, could have, won't have...
