My Brightest Diamond Escape Routes
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
