I DON’T WANT TO LOVE YOU EFFICIENTLY

[Intro: metronome, piano stabs]

[Spoken]
Tuesday, 7:30.
Forty-five minutes for intimacy.

Absolutely not.

[Verse 1]
I don’t want to schedule wonder
Between errands and a call
I want conversations stretching
Till we don’t know time at all

I don’t want optimized affection
Color-coded on a screen
I want messy, useless evenings
Where you tell me what you mean

[Chorus]
I DON’T WANT TO LOVE YOU EFFICIENTLY
I WANT TO WASTE SOME TIME

Lose an hour to your story
Lose another to your mind

Real connection has no shortcut
Depth refuses to be neat

If loving you costs hours
Then those hours aren’t defeat

[Verse 2]
But there are others that I cherish
And a body needs to rest
So I keep fighting with the calendar
While trying to give my best

[Bridge]
Maybe presence cannot scale
Maybe that’s what makes it rare
Not love itself
But being fully
Undistractedly there

[Final Chorus]
I DON’T WANT TO LOVE YOU EFFICIENTLY
DON’T TURN MY HEART TO MATH

I’d rather give you one real evening
Than ten distracted halves

[Outro]
No optimization.
Just stay.
