Versuri 10. 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
