Elaborate Lives

Radames
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 were going through 
I don't want to live like that 
I'm so tired of all were 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 

Aida and Radames
We all lead such elaborate lives 
We don't know whose words are true 
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives 
Hard to know who's loving who 

Aida
Too many choices tear us apart 
I don't want to live like that 

Radames
Too many choices tear us apart 
I don't want to love like that 
I just want to touch your heart 

May this confession
