Between Two Emotions

from Lighthouse by Zanda Myrande

/

about

There are two singers here, and yes, they are both supposed to be female. A domestic comedy musical number. Because why not.

lyrics

BETWEEN TWO EMOTIONS

A: I'm lying awake in the wee small hours
Trying to hold on to my cool
But the noises you make, I just want to take
And dump you into the pool.
It sounds like a factory working full blast
And right when I think you've gone quiet at last
You lift off the mattress and come down with a bump
And I think I must be a chump.
But just as I'm about to reach for the knife
I keep in the bedside nook
I think "oh, poor sweetie, she must have been tired"
And instead I just reach for a book.
I'm caught up
CHORUS
Between two emotions, on the horns of a dilemma of love.
Between rage and affection, no sense of direction,
I don't know what I'm thinking of....

B: I'm casting about for the pen I put down
On the table just a second ago.
Then I look up at you and say "Where did you put it?"
And you look at me like I ought to know.
You say "it's back in the drawer, that's where it belongs,
With all the other stuff you use for writing your songs.
I thought you were finished, so I put it away,"
And my temper begins to fray.
But then you look back at me and your smile's so sweet
And my heart melts all over again
And I think "oh, the darling, she's just trying to be neat,"
Even though it drives me insane.
I'm caught up
CHORUS

[instrumental - virtual dance sequence]

A: I straightened the picture by the stairs in the hall
B: But I like it when it's hanging askew.
B: Aw, you made me the pasta that I love best of all
A: But I wish you'd close your mouth when you chew.
B: (I do!)
BOTH: We're hardly compatible when viewed from outside
But there's a love between us which will always abide
And if anyone else is tearing one of us down
The other kicks 'em right out of town.
We're caught up
CHORUS
Between two emotions, on the horns of a dilemma, you see.
Between rage and affection, no sense of direction,
But it really doesn't matter
A: To me...
B: Or me...
BOTH: Because as long as we're balanced we know we can't fall
And it's better
Than feeling nothing
At all!
A: (spoken) I love you, sweetie.
B: (spoken) I know. (does something supremely irritating)
