matter Lyrics by philine

​the side-effects of living in a fantasy

2024

[Verse 1]
I'm getting high 'cause I'm stressed
And I don't wanna confess
How many times we've had this conversation
I look for something to feel
Something to prove what is real
Nothing makes sense the more you think about it

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I wanna do something
With my time
Even if it's all for nothing
But who's up to decide? Oh

[Chorus]
Ooh, what can I do?
I just wanna matter
Just wanna matter to you
Ooh, what can I do?
I just wanna matter
How can I matter to you?

[Verse 2]
Almost turning twenty-five
Ten more, might be someone's wife
Can't wrap my head around this thing called aging
And when my kids ask me, "Why?"
And, "What's the meaning of life?"
Will I know how to give an explanation?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I wanna do something (Something)
With my time
Even if it's all for nothing
But who's up to decide? Oh

[Chorus]
Ooh, what can I do?
I just wanna matter
Just wanna matter to you
Ooh, what can I do?
I just wanna matter
How can I matter to you?

[Bridge]
Might not believe in Hell or Heaven
But I believe in trying and guessing
How can I matter?
How can I matter to you?
I don't have the answers, just got questions
I'm willing to learn, so teach me a lesson
How can I matter, matter to you?

[Chorus]
Ooh, what can I do?
I just wanna matter
Just wanna matter to you
Ooh, what can I do?
I just wanna matter
How can I matter to you?
