Matters Of The Heart Lyrics

As the body is getting old

You're surrounded by a foam

People calling you at home

Mostly working on the phone

They won't touch you with a stick

Stare too much, they'll call you a prick

But your number they will pass

Mark it up as: "still got some cash"

Lonely, smart and prone to love

I've been under and above

I've been kissed and I've been struck

Drawn forever on a lark

Now that you are coming home

I'm a stumbler, too far gone

Awkward in so many ways

Easy prey, in games you play

'Cause in matters of the heart

I've been having some false starts

So if I ask you for your hand

Or where we're headed

Simply touch me, all of the way

Don't worry, I won't stay

It's just a thing that I need today

And probably every day

'Cause it's always been my faith

Touch someone, you're good as death

Everything you've ever known

Will be taken, forever gone

Yes, I've touched and I survived

Lost it all and I'm alive

No more a junky for the pain

I want it missionary plain

'Cause in matters of the heart

I've been having some false starts

So if I ask you for your hand

Or where we're headed

Simply touch me, all of the way

Don't worry, I won't stay

It's just a thing that I need today

And probably every day
