INFINITE SELF-PORTRAITS

He wants her 

Doesn't need her

Yea he wants to keep it

Like that

 

She wants him 

Doesn't need him

Yea she likes it 

Likes it like that

 

Oh yea she wants him 

Doesn't need him

And she wants to  

Keep it like that

 

They think this is some kind of freedom

And they want to keep it like that

Two different paths two different journeys

And they want to keep it like that

 

But soon they'll come together

It's all over everything has changed

Spend all their nights in a fever

And they want to keep it like that.

 

Her bare back - the kitchen - in the morning

He says I like this view of you

A smile between this man and woman

She stares at his mouth and hands

​

Oh yea he wants her

Doesn't need her

He wants to keep it 

Like that

 

She wants him

Doesn't need him

She wants to keep it 

Like that

 

But time moves fast

And life is short

Can't hold onto 

Every dream

 

He wants her

She wants him

In this crazy world

That means something

 

Oh yea she wants him

Doesn't yet love him

And so

She hedges her bets

 

Complexity 

Complexity

Is he the best

She can get?

​

Can he reach out and touch her?

It's all over everything has changed

Spends all his nights in a fever

Chasing her shadows through the rain

 

He sits and stares at the water

Watching the boats at high tide

In a world of infinite self-portraits

All he wanted was a lover by his side.
