Matter

[Verse 1]
When the call came through and you looked away
And told me what you couldn't before
And I listened to that quiet sound against your ear
And there were feelings that we tried to ignore

[Verse 2]
And you took my hand outside the station
And said I could do whatever I wanted to do
Well, bones will heal, but everything else stays
In a different kind of black and blue

[Chorus]
So I'll burn all my old years again
And I promise I'll be friends with your friends
And I'll keep the best bits with my front door key
'Cause if thеy matter to you, they matter to mе

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, mmm

[Verse 3]
And at last I fell into your broken arms
And followed you down the tunnel of sleep
And we landed on a shoreline
With the waves washing over our feet

[Verse 4]
And it was that seaside town I remember
My parents took me to as a boy
Yeah, I can see it all then, like solid ground
Giving way to some forgotten joy

[Chorus]
So I'll burn all my bad years again
And I promise I'll be friends with your friends
And I'll keep the best bits with my front door key
'Cause if they matter to you, they matter to me

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, mmm
Mmm

[Bridge]
And if it matters
We're both made of the same matter
An ever-changing state of things
With one beginning
And God you matter
We're just made of fragile matter
An ever-changing shape of things
Another ending
And if it matters
We're both made of the same matter
An ever-changing state of things
With one beginning
And God you matter
We're just made of fragile matter
An ever-changing shape of things
Another ending

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
So I'll burn all my bad years again
And I promise I'll be friends with your friends
And I'll keep the best bits with my front door key
And if it's matter to you, then it's matter to me
