“Adjust The Volume” (More Than Love)
Adjust the volume in my speakers
then read through your words once more
wipe the tears from my face as they roll down
how I abandoned you tonight is a betrayal
of all the things I hold true in my life
all night I paced along inside of my weary head
peeling our shirts off and watching Pulp Fiction
falling asleep on your couch and getting our picture taken
running my hands through your hair at a Modest Mouse show
if you think I don’t love you more than you are mistaken
because it’s more than just a turn on to hear your breath catch
and it’s more than just complete bliss to hear you say ‘I love you’
I will apologize until my face turns blue and my vocal chords
drop out of tune
I get up and awake from sleep only when you make me
when you creep in my room and touch my skin softly
and I hold my head right up to your chest so I can listen
as your heart beats in time to my own pulsing in my chest
then ill carry you down the stairs and we can fetch a dream
pluck it ripe from the tree that we planted about a week ago
drinks and music go well with pot and lyrical scrawling
and I will get up to adjust the volume in my speakers
and we will share the words that we write with one another
shirtless stoned and a little bit sloppy with the one you love
is a hell of a way to spend an after noon
peeling our shirts off and watching Pulp Fiction
falling asleep on your couch and getting our picture taken
running my hands through your hair at a Modest Mouse show
if you think I don’t love you more than you are mistaken
because it’s more than just a turn on to hear your breath catch
and it’s more than just complete bliss to hear you say ‘I love you’
it’s so much more than love that I’ve got for you
so much more…..
