Fools Fall in Love
Love's Hasty Gamble: Unraveling the Folly of Swift Hearts
Lyrics
Well, fools fall in love in a hurry
Falling in love hastily is a trait of foolish individuals
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Fools tend to give away their hearts too quickly
Just play them two bars of Stardust
A reference to the song "Stardust," implying susceptibility to romantic feelings
Just hang out one silly moon, oh, oh
Fools are influenced by simple, romantic settings, like a moonlit night
And they've got their love torches burning
Foolish individuals have their love passion intensely ignited
When they should be playing it cool
They are not acting calmly or wisely in their romantic pursuits
I used to laugh but now I understand
Reflecting on past behavior, acknowledging a change in understanding
Shake the hand of a brand new fool
Encountering and acknowledging the foolishness in a new love interest
Well, fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Similar to schoolgirls, fools fall in love with an idealized, unrealistic view
Blinded by rose colored dreams
Blinded by overly optimistic and unrealistic dreams
They build their castles on wishes
Building relationships based on wishes and dreams, lacking a solid foundation
With only rainbows for beams, oh, oh
Constructing their emotional "castles" with only fleeting and unrealistic hopes
They're making plans for the future
Planning for the future without understanding the present reality
When they should be right back in school
Suggesting that fools should focus on learning and self-improvement instead
I used to laugh but now I understand
Reflecting on personal growth and understanding the folly of past laughter
Shake the hand of a brand new fool
A repetition emphasizing the acknowledgment of a new fool
Oh, oh, and they're making plans for the future
Reiterating the theme of misguided future planning by fools
When they should be right back in school
Highlighting the importance of returning to a learning mindset
I used to laugh but now I understand
Repeating the realization and understanding of one's own past foolishness
Shake the hand of a brand new fool
Encouraging the acknowledgment of a new fool in a symbolic way
