You say I'm in love with love, dear
You say I'm in love with love x4
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 x4
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
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 x4
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 x4
