Everything that Matters – Lyrics

I’ve been trying to follow

Father’s footsteps for a while

But they’re old and faded

They’ve been for quite some time

I’m tired of walking

I’ve got blisters on my feet

They’re too big for these shoes 

That I can’t seem to fill

Oh, what if it’s too long?

Oh, what if it’s been done before?

Oh, what if everything that matters,

suddenly just shatters on the floor,

and then it’s gone?

Well then it’s gone

Now tell me where is the fun

In always being right

Why’s there blood on your knuckles

If you don’t give a crap

When every star falls from the sky

And there’s no shoulders left to cry on

Will that finally be our moment?

Oh, what if it’s too long?

Oh, what if it’s been done before?

Oh, what if everything that matters,

suddenly just shatters on the floor,

and then it’s gone?

Well then it’s gone
