Cover art for True Affection lyrics by Father John Misty

The singer is madly in love with someone who isn't living close to him. They talk and talk on 'strange devices', but all he wants to show her/him is 'true affection'.

Maybe the other hasn't grown up with the affection that can be given, maybe she/he got hurt badly in the past, so is scared. He just wants to talk, with the face, to give true affection.
