Fools Like Us
Embracing Love's Folly: A Tale of Endless Yearning
Lyrics
1:35, she calls me up
At 1:35, she contacts me.
And I can hear it in her voice
I can sense something in her tone.
A little wasted when she says
She seems a bit intoxicated when she asks, "Can I come over for a while?"
?Can I come over for a little while?
And I reply, of course you can?
I agree to her request, indicating she's welcome.
I'm just sitting here wasting time
I'm idle, wasting time with no clear direction.
Going nowhere, going no place
Going nowhere and achieving nothing.
Just pretending everything is fine
Pretending that everything in life is okay.
And everything is fine
Despite the pretense, everything is fine for now.
And with a fake and dreamy look
She looks unreal and dreamy as she embraces me.
She melts into my arms
She fits into my arms, creating a temporary illusion of happiness.
And I know I'm gonna lose in the end
Aware that this happiness is temporary, knowing I'll eventually lose.
But for now everything is fine
Despite the eventual loss, everything feels fine in the moment.
Oh, baby, fools like us will always fall
People like us, who are foolish in love, will always fall.
Always fall in love and fall in love with
Constantly falling in love with others who share the same folly.
Fools like us will never change
This pattern of falling in love won't change.
And never get enough
Never getting enough of this foolish love.
Now I need her like a drug
Comparing the need for her presence to a drug addiction.
And in the morning when she leaves
After she leaves in the morning...
I keep her precious smile
I keep the memory of her smile close to me.
By my side on the pillow
Her smile stays with me on the pillow where she laid her hair down.
Where she let her hair come down
Reflecting on the intimacy shared during the night.
And when the sunlight hits my eyes
When the sunlight appears...
Oh, I can picture her on a train
I imagine her on a train, moving forward.
Going somewhere, going someplace
Going somewhere with a purpose, unlike my aimless state.
Still pretending everything is fine
Still pretending that everything is fine.
Oh, baby, fools like us will always fall
Reiteration that people like us will always fall in love.
Always fall in love and fall in love with
Continuously falling for others who share the same foolishness.
Fools like us will never change
The pattern of falling in love remains unchanged.
And never get enough of fools like us
Emphasizing the insatiable nature of this foolish love.
Fools like us will always fall
Repetition of the idea that fools like us keep falling in love.
Always fall in love and fall in love with
Consistently falling for others who share the same folly.
Fools like us will never change
The pattern of falling in love persists.
And never get enough
Enduring the ongoing cycle of never getting enough.
Of fools just like you and me
Fools like you and me are caught in this perpetual cycle.
Fools like us will always fall
Restating that individuals like us will always fall in love.
