[00:00.31]Elaborate Lives
[00:06.65]Music by Elton John
[00:11.11]Lyrics by Tim Rice
[00:16.78]
[00:22.76]We all lead such elaborate lives
[00:31.17]Wild ambitions in our sights
[00:40.84]How an affair of the heart survives
[00:49.63]Days apart and hurried nights
[00:58.41]
[00:58.75]Seems quite unbelievable to me
[01:03.14]I don't want to live like that
[01:07.43]Seems quite unbelievable to me
[01:12.15]I don't want to love like that
[01:15.28]I just want our time to be slower and gentler, wiser, free
[01:35.57]
[01:37.84]We all live in extravagant times
[01:46.07]Playing games we can't all win
[01:55.29]Unintended emotional crimes
[02:03.28]Take some out, take others in
[02:11.32]
[02:11.83]I'm so tired of all we're going through
[02:16.55]I don't want to live like that
[02:20.34]I'm so tired of all we're going through
[02:25.23]I don't want to love like that
[02:28.44]I just want to be with you now and forever, peaceful, true
[02:42.02]
[02:42.61]I wish I had the courage
[02:46.53]To tell you face to face
[02:50.96]But I could wait forever
[02:53.89]For the perfect time and place
[02:59.47]
[02:59.90]We all live such elaborate lives
[03:11.77]We don't know whose words are true
[03:20.20]Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
[03:28.70]Hard to know whose loving who
[03:36.08]
[03:36.64]Too many choices tear us apart
[03:41.47]I don't want to live like that
[03:45.29]Too many choices tear us apart
[03:49.94]I don't want to love like that
[03:53.48]I just want to touch your heart,
[03:59.16]may this confession be the start
