Tears That Don't Matter
Open a door, hold hands Empty your pockets and get to know Jesus Have a heart, watch where you're going That's where you'll see enough blood for a lifetime Play nice, learn a lesson Fall apart as easily as moonlight Know what you want, give it to someone Spending their memory's nickels and pennies You're only as empty as the lost and found A cup with a crack, a necklace to tangle Only as true to life as a lost and found Socks and a watch left in a lunchbox Tears that don't matter now Make time, die trying Trust your gut if it's there for the taking Look alive, don't listen Anything worth it is said in cold water Fly right, eat a rainbow Speak of the devil when gods in the details Meet the moment, kill kindness Finding and keeping that pot you can piss in So are you or are you not the lost and found A coat with a phone, a crayon for breaking SongtexteOnly as true to life as a lost and found A rock and roll keychain, that wish you could whistle And tears that don't matter now What goes in is never what comes out The hole in a yard ball, pieces of seashell You're only empty as a lost and found Sounds from a house, the end of a candle That kiss for your trouble, ice and its goosebumps All the runaway meanings of keeping your hat on The names and their bruises, some eyes that got empty One chance in a million, the light where you lost her The miles and a mother shed like a snakeskin Some shame and some anger and all those drugs just for nothing A swimming of colors on a Japanese beetle When the cynic within you finally bowed to a daughter And the sea and its reasoning and the bones of your music And that voice that you love and the life you were dreaming The doors that keep closing, all the hands you let go of And the tears that don't matter Aus Songtexte Mania
