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
|
|
|
This may not be the moment
|
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
|
