Matter of Fact

Let it wash all over me
Put the honey soap down
I’m clean enough as you can see
You’ve not enough to go around

It comes as a matter of fact that she wasn’t mine
It comes as a matter of fact that your tone’s out of line

Let the sun rise up again
I’m sorry Honey I’ve got to go
You are the notion I’m swimming in
You’ve more than just my word to know

In spite of all of my answers and all of my reasons
In spite of all of our fault lines I am alive
And when you come up to my town you know that I will settle down
In spite of all of your reasons I am yours

The mountain carries my words to you
Thrown around from time to time
It’s not as though I wanted to
My words don’t always speak my mind
