Elaborate Lives |
|
We all lead such elaborate lives |
|
Wild ambitions in our sights |
|
How an affair of the heart survives |
|
Days apart and hurried nights |
|
Seems quite unbelievable to me |
|
I don't want to live like that |
|
Seems quite unbelievable to me |
|
I don't want to love like that |
|
I just want our time to be slower and gentler, wiser, free |
|
We all live in extravagant times |
|
Playing games we can't all win |
|
Unintended emotional crimes |
|
Take some out, take others in |
|
I'm so tired of all we're going through |
|
I don't want to live like that |
|
I'm so tired of all we're going through |
|
I don't want to love like that |
|
I just want to be with you now and forever, peaceful, true |
|
I wish I had the courage |
|
To tell you face to face |
|
But I could wait forever |
|
For the perfect time and place |
|
We all live such elaborate lives |
|
We don't know whose words are true |
|
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives |
|
Hard to know whose loving who |
|
Too many choices tear us apart |
|
I don't want to live like that |
|
Too many choices tear us apart |
|
I don't want to love like that |
|
I just want to touch your heart, may this confession be the start |
