It takes a lifetime to learn how to love
|
It starts with a flicker that bursts into flame
|
Then it fades to an ember with fights
|
And with fingers pointing out blame
|
|
Oh to exercise the act
|
Of falling in love with you over and over and over
|
|
Let's close off all our escape routes
|
Let's not put it off tonight
|
Let's close off all our escape routes
|
We can have it all tonight
|
|
It takes a lifetime to learn how to love
|
Most the time I'm taking too much in my turn
|
But I yearn for your closeness and a gentle return
|
Oh to exercise the act
|
Of falling in love with you over and over and over
|
Over and over and over
|
Over and over and over
|
|
My arms snake around yours
|
Your lips open explore
|
These promises we have saved
|
They hold us
|
They hold and maintain
|
|
Let's close off all our escape routes
|
Let's not put it off tonight
|
Let's close off all our escape routes
|
We can have it all tonight
|
|
Let's close off all our escape routes
|
Let's not put it off tonight
|
Let's close off all our escape routes
|
We can have it all tonight
|
We can have it all
|
We can have it all tonight
|
