text: 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 dont want to live like that
  Seems quite unbelievable to me
  I dont 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 cant all win
  Unintended emotional crimes
  Take some out, take others in
  Im so tired of all were going through
  I dont want to live like that
  Im so tired of all were going through
  I dont 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 lead such elaborate lives
  We dont know whose words are true
  Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
  Hard to know whos loving who
  Too many choices tear us apart
  I dont want to live like that
  Too many choices tear us apart
  I dont want to love like that
  I just want to touch your heart
  May this confession be the start
