Paradox

I want to talk on the phone, I want to call you at home
I want to seal myself off from this world that you own
Why don't you hold on tight? Why don't you just let go?
Why do you keep saying yes when you really mean no?

I want to give to you, I want to take from you
I want to lie to you, I want to be lied to
I want to hold you close, I want to push you away
I want to be with you always, just not for today

I want to treat you like china, I want to wear you like gold
I want to chop you into pieces so you'll never grow old
I want to hold your hand, take a walk in the park
I want to throw you to the floor, I want to take you in the dark
