Lyrics
What Matters
Stephen Brunette
Baby, I think I'm goin' crazy, a little crazier every day.
Lost my job, lost our house, thought I lost you, too, but I guess you're here to stay.
Your listenin' heart always finds a way
to hold my broken dreams real close, 'til I'm ready to let 'em go, ready to hear you say
CHORUS
(what matters) the way you look when you look me in the eye,
(what matters) the way you love me, the way you say hi (stay high*),
(what matters) the way you hold me when I break down and cry,
(what matters) the way you say our love will never die.
Baby, let's go out tonight, kick the dust off our dancin' shoes,
romance the night 'til the mornin' light, dance away these bad news blues.
When the sun comes up, we'll set our gypsy souls free,
dance as one in the rising sun, you be you, I'll be me.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Gettin' tired o' gettin' old sittin' still in this old town,
let's kick the tires, hit the road, we can't get lost, baby, we're forever found.
I'll get new strings for my guitar, tune it up real good.
Maybe we'll play some festivals, maybe we'll play for food.
Maybe we'll do a webcast, give it up for 2.0,
Then the whole wide world wide web'll know everything we know about
CHORUS (repeat til end)
*"high" means "naturally high"
