A Heart Like Mine
Searching Hearts: Clint Black's Melody of Longing
Lyrics
On a barstool like a damn fool
Feeling foolish while sitting at a bar
Hoping she won't think, I'm to much older
Hoping the woman won't see him as too old
Just another come on line
Using a typical pickup line
To a girl like you in a place like this
Expressing interest in a girl in the current setting
And on the dance floor wanting so much more
Desiring more on the dance floor
I crossed that line and got that cold shoulder
Crossing a boundary and receiving a cold response
You probably think I'm full of it
Admitting the possibility of skepticism
But I don't think you'll ever find such emptiness
Suggesting a sense of inner emptiness
This heart of mine is just looking for
Describing the speaker's heart searching
A heart like mine who's just looking for
Expressing a desire for a similar searching heart
What it can find
Searching for something meaningful
Still looking for a heart like mine
Continuing the quest for a like-minded heart
I'm not the only one who's lonely
Acknowledging universal loneliness
I find that feeling beating all around me
Sensing loneliness all around
But with just a night or two
Considering a short time to know someone
I'd know, if you're the one
Questioning if the person is the right one
But now that shoulders getting colder
Noticing a growing distance and detachment
And soon you'll turn and leave me like you found me
Anticipating being left alone as initially found
Still way out of line, one thing on my mind
Remaining out of line, focused on personal desires
And all alone
Being alone in one's thoughts
This heart of mine is just looking for
Reiterating the heart's search for a connection
A heart like mine who's just looking for
Seeking a heart with similar intentions
What it can find
Continuing the pursuit of meaningful connection
Still looking for a heart like mine
Persisting in the search for a like-minded heart
