Lessons In Love Lyrics
I'm not proud, I was wrong and the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough but our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies, lost at sea, I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
All the dreams that we were building, we never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better, oh, <b>lessons in love</b>
For restless eyes egos burn and the mold is hard to break
Now we've waded in too deep and love is overboard
Heavy hearts, token words, all the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand
All the homes that we were building, we never lived in
Could be better, should be better, lessons in love
If we lose the time before us, the future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, yeah, lessons in love
Lost without love
Lessons in love, when will you ever learn
Lessons in love, when there's nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love, don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love, I'll wait till you return
All the dreams that we were building (yeah yeah yeah), we never lived them
We could lose it, we should use it (lessons in love), lessons in love
All the homes that we were building, we never lived in
Could be better (could be better), should be better (yeah), lessons in love
If we lose the time before us, the future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it (good God), lessons in love
I felt sure we had enough but our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies, lost at sea, I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
Could be better, should be better, oh, <b>lessons in love</b>
Now we've waded in too deep and love is overboard
Heavy hearts, token words, all the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand
Could be better, should be better, lessons in love
If we lose the time before us, the future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, yeah, lessons in love
Lessons in love, when will you ever learn
Lessons in love, when there's nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love, don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love, I'll wait till you return
We could lose it, we should use it (lessons in love), lessons in love
All the homes that we were building, we never lived in
Could be better (could be better), should be better (yeah), lessons in love
If we lose the time before us, the future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it (good God), lessons in love

Perfect 80's pop song.
Great song. "Heavy hearts token words all the hopes I ever had Fade like footprints in the sand". Great lyrics and quite true, heavy words for those of us that feel time is passing us by. IMO this song is about a couple whose hopes and dreams were driven out by the harsh reality they're currently living. In other words, reality wins and those dreams literally go to hell.
I think the lyrics are pretty easy to understand. An interesting fact about this song (I saw Mark King say this in an interview) is that it was written to be a hit (which the record label, Polydor, wanted). The members of the band had played together in bands in holiday camps on the Isle of Wight, and 'We'll Meet Again' by Vera Lynn always went down well with audiences. They borrowed elements of the chord progression knowing it was proven to be popular.
