This is my favorite song it’s like he’s saying screw everything I just want to be with you and you only and it doesn’t matter what Happens just as long as we have each other
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 we're going through I don't want to live like that I'm so tired of all we're 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 live such elaborate lives We don't know whose words are true Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives Hard to know whose 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 be the start
I used to be the same way until I realized my regional theater directors and even Broadway directors call them plays, which they are. All musicals are plays but not all plays are musicals.
My school did Aida this past year. All I did when this song came on, I slow danced with my little spiderman backstage. Actually, during any of the slow songs, I slowed danced with spiderman or with some actual people. Also during any of the Nubian dance pieces, we went crazy backstage. Twerk trains were all that happened. Yeah, this brings back painfully embarassing and wonderful memories.
seeing my school do this friday i love that this is being sung by probably our strongest male singer and zozer is being played by a ginger so evil makes sense
