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
