See, these days its different,
Its' 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,
its plastic now
My IpodĀ“s got me asking "how could all my allows take
me down
To back when it used to matter?"
Now it seems that we are all wrapped up so tight,
light just cant get in
And i fell that we cant see
And i fell, its not "maybe"
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 words I write are on a screen,
And the friends I have have "added" me
And theres 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 thats supposed to matter
So you replace your time
in between
With other peoplesĀ“
hopes and dreams
And they live their lives on
your TV
And now you dont even matter
I just want us to be who were supposed to be
Doesnt it seem like were kinda
far from the orginal plan
From the start back
when it used to matter
