See these days it's different,
|
It's all new.
|
The world is gone and I am too.
|
Wishing I was closer to,
|
Back when it used to matter.
|
All my coins are gone,
|
It's plastic now.
|
My iPod's got me asking how,
|
Could all my albums take me down?
|
Back when it used to matter.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Now it seems,
|
That we are all wrapped up so tight,
|
Life just can't get in.
|
And I feel,
|
That we can't see.
|
Now it seems,
|
That we are all wrapped up so tight,
|
Life just can't get in.
|
And I feel,
|
It's not maybe.
|
|
So my watch is worthless,
|
So is my pen.
|
And it seems nothing's greater than,
|
Something that takes me way back when.
|
Back when it used to matter.
|
All the words I write are on a screen,
|
And the friends I have are mad at me.
|
And there's no record of anything,
|
Now we all cease to matter.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
So the time when you turn 22,
|
But they're gonna wait to bury you.
|
Cause you've got a 9-5 to do,
|
And that's supposed to matter.
|
And you replace your time in between,
|
With other people's hopes and dreams.
|
And live their lives on your T.V.,
|
And now you don't even matter.
|
|
Oh it seems,
|
That we are all wrapped up so tight,
|
Life just never gets in.
|
And I feel,
|
That we can't see,
|
That we can't see.
|
Oh that we,
|
Oh that we,
|
Are all wrapped up so tight life just never gets in.
|
And I feel,
|
That we can't see.
|
It's not maybe,
|
It's certainly.
|
And I know we can't see,
|
I just want us to be,
|
Who we're supposed to be.
|
Who we're supposed to be.
|
Who we are,
|
And well doesn't it seem kind of far?
|
From the original plans of the stars,
|
Back when it used to matter.
