Matter Lyrics by SHALLOWS

2017

[Verse 1]
Words are placed on most of the things
Claims to a piece of what you think is true
Like it's an infinite space
Trapped in a body turning black and blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we're something
Your eyes could build the world you believe
Maybe we're nothing
Baby but you are everything to me

[Chorus]
Tell me that I'm not just matter
Tell me that I matter to you
And if you're not my ever after
Tell me what comes after you

[Verse 2]
Eyes are just windows to dreams
Reflections of purpose and the galaxy
Endlessly chasing perfection
We find safety in the symmetry

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's something so much more than we expected to be
I know what you're thinking but don't be afraid just say it all to me

[Chorus]
Tell me that I'm not just matter
Tell me that I matter to you
And if you're not my ever after
Tell me what comes after you

Tell me that I'm not just matter
Tell me that I matter to you
And if you're not my ever after
Tell me what comes after you

[Bridge]
You've got nothing left to prove
(You've got nothing left to prove)
Stars are coming in to view
(Stars are coming in to view)

[Chorus]
Tell me that I'm not just matter
Tell me that I matter to you
And if you're not my ever after
Tell me what comes after you

Tell me that I'm not just matter
Tell me that I matter to you
And if you're not my ever after
Tell me what comes after you
