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
