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. 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.

(Too many choices tear us apart. I don't want to live like that. I don't want to love like that.)
I'm so tired of all we're going through, I don't want to live like that. I don't want to love like that.
I just want to be with you. Now, and forever. Peaceful. True.
- "Elaborate Lives" from Aida, lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Elton John.
