every couple fights about money about attention about harmless searing flirtations temptations, indiscretions and thoughts every couple fights about passion and lack of passion about furniture, fixtures, fantasies and families all those dysfunctional families and we don't fight about any of that because we are not a couple and we fight about that knowing what i want you choose to escape and knowing what you want i senselessly cling a mess of depressed repression unappealing stealing every ounce of hope from the air and you repeat (repeat, repeat) that we are NOT a couple but what about this love? -- douglas brent smith
