We fell in love too young
And when we woke up it was gone
Not the love, but the youth,
Not the falling, but the truth.
We fell in love too fast
And no one got to finish last
Right buttons, wrong order -
It ended with a start.
We fell in love too freely
In the flicker of touchy feelies
The End - staring out the ceiling
For the slightest crack of meaning.
We fell in with the wrong crowd
Of love and lust and luck
Till nothing else was true
Except we couldn’t give a fuck.
We all fell out in the end
Lovers, family and friends
Until nothing else was true
Except I fell in love once too.
