Love With Love

You say Im in love with love, dear
You say Im in love with love.
Well its been a minute, how you been miss distant?
Looking like a ten when Im looking like ten cents?
Yeah, Its been a year since the day you disappeared
Im sure you had a reason but it isnt crystal clear
Cause together we made prose into poetry
You fall back in love with me, suddenly youre over me
And so, I know better than to run right back
But aint 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 hows that for assertive?
Think we might have made a couple cracks on the surface?
You got enough facts to come back with a verdict
Weve had enough practice, so we should make perfect, but...
You say Im in love with love, dear
You say Im 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 isnt?
Was it you? Was it me? Was it youth? Was it love?
Was it everything between? Was it all of the above?
Cause, its been a minute since Ive listened to your lullabies
But youre still the butterfly that flutters through my technicolor skies
And stop me if aint important, but
Ive 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 isnt effortless, sugar, we gotta work at it
And turn the clocks back from the last to the first kiss
You say Im in love with love, dear
You say Im in love with love.
Sunshine, you say Im in love with love
But loves never been a good lover to me
So its hard to admit theres a part of your lips
That makes me stutter my words and shuffle my feet
I know Im not the average, lady killer, debonair
Fine skinned gentlemen, with a perfect head of hair
But I know Ill love you even when a pair of crows feet
Perch upon the place above your Minnesota cold cheeks
And thats a hell of an investment
And you can think about when youre 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?
Theres no need to respond
Ill be the one to help you get to sleep when hes gone
Cause even if our song had to skip a couple verses
Weve had enough practice, so we should make perfect but
You say Im in love with love, dear
You say Im in love with love.
