    Story Behind the Song
    This is definitely biographical. The first line, "he's logical, she's playful, he's calm and she's unstable" ran through my mind for at least a year before I found the correct hook for the chorus. The chord progression came after all the lyrics were pretty much in place. It was recorded with the guitar and vocal together "live" and the rest of the instrumentation added.

    Lyrics
    He's logical, she's playful
    He's calm and she's unstable
    He's steady in a crisis come what may
    Her life's a steady crisis every day
    His hobbies are all physical
    She's longing for the spiritual
    Their politics diverge at every path
    And very few things make both of them laugh
    (Chorus)
    And yet, and yet, this unexpected pair
    Feel incomplete without the other there
    And yet, and yet, if all the truth be known
    No one can say what makes a happy home

    He works ten hours and then some
    She longs for his attention
    He only has a little time to spare
    And when he does she isn't always there
    She plays on open stages
    And he's seen her many phases
    He likes to keep the home fires burning bright
    And she knows he'’ll be home for her at night

    If opposites attract these two are fused right to the bone
    If absence makes the heart grow fonder why not live alone

    Chorus
