You don't need to bring me candy or flowers You don't need a clumsy sonnet from me When the night falls on us tone-deaf and ringing You know you're always my middle c In a matter of, in a matter of It's a matter of time How's the stroke of someone's pen gonna change us? You have my love for free You have everything that I have to offer We'll know when we are ready In a matter of, in a matter of It's a matter of time Who remembers any men from before me? We've always been alone In a world so full of murky intentions We'll make ourselves a home In a matter of, in a matter of It's a matter of time
