I've got a friend who carries flowers everywhere he goes
He picks a new one everyday and everybody knows (I broke his heart)
I've got a friend who brought a picture frame on his trip across the world
But he broke it back in Denver, never made it to his girl in California

Why is it so hard to fall in love?
You turned it on, you turned it off
A broken heart just keeps on breaking

I've got a friend in Guatemala who swears he's given up
no conozco esperanza, and I don't believe in God (not anymore)
I've got a friend who talks to Jesus to heal her broken heart
She's holding onto pieces she's never even thought of letting go

We're still so young but our time is running out
This world keeps spinning round and round and round

Why is it so hard to fall in love?
You turned it on, you turned it off
A broken heart just keeps on breaking
On and on and on

One hand's on my heart, the other covering my eyes
I must confess: I am the lie, I am the love song
But I have never seen the light

What I feel for you is more than love
You turned me on, you turned me off
You come in warm and leave me shaking

Why is it so hard to fall in love?
You turned me on, you turned me off
A broken heart just keeps on breaking
On and on and on

We don't have much time to get this right
I've waited here a hundred years with my lover's heartbeat
You better get your kiss before it's midnight
Echoing distant miles, think of intense desire
Don't you get the set? It's now or never
One shot through, and we are young
And the sun is still strong
To find the song you love and dance forever
Forever
