Used to Matter Lyrics

See, these days it's different,

It's all new. The old 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

To back when it used to matter?'

Now it seems that we

are all wrapped up so tight,

light just can't get in

And I feel that we can't see

See, my watch is worthless,

So is my pen

And it seems nothing is

greater than

something that takes me

Way back when, to

back when it used to Matter

All the wrods I write

are on a screen,

And the friends I have

have 'added' me

And there's no record

of anything,

and now we all cease

to matter

So you die when you turn 22

but they gonna wait to bury you

Cuz you got a 9 to 5 to do

And that's supposed to matter

So you replace your time

in between

with other peoples'

hopes and dreams

And they live their lives on

your TV

And now you don't even matter

supposed to be and who we are

doesn't it seem like were kinda

far from the original plan

from the start back

when it used to matter
