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
