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
