Love With Love

You say I'm in love with love, dear

You say I'm in love with love.

Well it's been a minute, how you been miss distant?

Looking like a ten when I'm looking like ten cents?

Yeah, It's been a year since the day you disappeared

I'm sure you had a reason but it isn't crystal clear

Cause together we made prose into poetry

You fall back in love with me, suddenly you're over me

And so, I know better than to run right back

But ain't no Minnesota woman wears a summer dress like that

And I just wanna feel your skin against mine again

Run my fingers through the strings strung to your violin

Take a couple minutes just to memorize your symphony

So if I get to play it I can hit the highs instantly

So how's that for assertive?

Think we might have made a couple cracks on the surface?

You got enough facts to come back with a verdict

We've had enough practice, so we should make perfect, but...

You say I'm in love with love, dear

You say I'm in love with love.

How you living little lily of the valley?

When you shut your eyes do you still think about me?

When you lay your head down, does it feel a little different?

Do you still feel my body pressed against you when it isn't?

Was it you? Was it me? Was it youth? Was it love?

Was it everything between? Was it all of the above?

Cause, it's been a minute since I've listened to your lullabies

But you're still the butterfly that flutters through my technicolor skies

And stop me if ain't important, but

I've miss the way your hair is cursive in the morning

You could be my Jenny Lewis, I could be your "bad news"

I could be your Comm Sense, you could be my Badu

Well, maybe something slightly more permanent

Love isn't effortless, sugar, we gotta work at it

And turn the clocks back from the last to the first kiss

You say I'm in love with love, dear

You say I'm in love with love.

Sunshine, you say I'm in love with love

But love's never been a good lover to me

So it's hard to admit there's a part of your lips

That makes me stutter my words and shuffle my feet

I know I'm not the average, lady killer, debonair

Fine skinned gentlemen, with a perfect head of hair

But I know I'll love you even when a pair of crows feet

Perch upon the place above your Minnesota cold cheeks

And that's a hell of an investment

And you can think about when you're with the next man

When he talks about your future, do you think in decades?

And when he tells you that he wants you does he make your legs shake?

Really?

There's no need to respond

I'll be the one to help you get to sleep when he's gone

Cause even if our song had to skip a couple verses

We've had enough practice, so we should make perfect but

You say I'm in love with love, dear

You say I'm in love with love.
