The Heart Of The Matter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's talk of war all the time
So I think of you
My beautiful one
It's all for you
I never wish it alone
With all that you bring
I do my best
To keep us in
Fly straight to the heart of the matter
Elevate through bad weather
Strip away

It's so easy to go and misunderstand
The distance we run
With this violent heart
It's a dangerous world
And each accident
Brings us closer to those
Who mean the most
Who mean the most
Fly straight to the heart of the matter
Elevate through bad weather
Strip away

Fly straight to the heart of the matter
Elevate through bad weather

Strip it back to you and me
So lost when you need something
Language is not an enemy
So lost when you need something
Language is not an enemy
It's you and me
It's you and me
Fly straight to the heart of the matter
Elevate through bad weather
Strip away
