[TERRY]
An obvious connection
I tried so hard to hide
Couldn't even say it to myself

An obvious connection
I tried to push aside
Into a corner on the darkest shelf

We'll never be alone
And my feelings can't be shown
So I try to imagine and replay
All the things I'll never get to say

You're wrapped up with another
Tangled and entwined
I invent a separation
In the private conversation in my mind

I resolve to say it all
Then I hem and haw and stall
For how could I come clean or confide
Someone else is always at your side

I want
I want
I want to tell you
I want
I want
To get you alone

I need
I need
I need to tell you
I want you for my own

If we could steal a moment
Would you be so inclined
To accept an invitation
To the private conversation in my mind

[Daisy appears, alone]

[DAISY]
What do you want to say to me, Terry?
Tell me, this is your chance
What do you need to say to me, Terry?
Does it concern romance?

Here I am
All alone
Yours to take
Smooth me out
Calm me down
Stop the ache

Don't hold back
Don't hold off
Hold me tight

Don't object
Let's connect
Let's unite

[TERRY]
But you can't lose your shadow
That tie you can't unbind

[DAISY]
You've made us all alone now

[TERRY]
All alone, but only in my mind

[DAISY]
A mind is very private
We often meet in mine
Let me show you what we do there
The way we kiss
The way we intertwine
I want
I want
I want to show you

[TERRY]
Show me what?

[DAISY]
I want to show you desire
The heat
The flames

[TERRY]
I'm burning for you

[DAISY]
I know you are on fire

Why not be bold?
I'm crazy about you
I say it with every glance
My arms are cold and lazy without you
Come on, why don't we dance?

[They dance. Finally, they kiss.]

[TERRY]
I want
I want
I want to keep you

[DAISY]
Keep me where?

[Violet appears]

[TERRY]
I want you all for my own
My own
My own

[DAISY, breaking away from him]
You have to share me

[TERRY]
Oh no, I want you alone

[Daisy joins Violet, and they disappear.]

[TERRY]
I imagine us so well
How you'd dance and taste and smell
I can imagine me with you
But I don't have the guts to follow through

You're one half of a couple
That's how you are defined
And my only consolation
Is the private conversation in my mind
