In distant lands

There's no such luxury

You'd give your hand

In pre-arranged matrimony

You'd wear the veil

I'd sit in some cafe somewhere

Instead of this running around

And this right to be free

So pleased with ourselves but there's one thing i've found

About you and me

We can't live together

But we can't stay apart



In all my dreams

I've wanted someone like you

With no extremes

We'd both do what we have to do

But it's too easy, and then it's too hard

And passion gives us away

We know when to play the right cards

But we never know what to say

And we can't live together

But we can't stay apart



Why can't you be more like me

Or me like you

And why can't one and one

Just add to two



But we can't live together

And we can't stay apart
