It doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you, it doesn't matter if I live or die, it doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you, it doesn't matter if I live or die, it doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you, it doesn't matter if I live or die, it doesn't matter if I don't I remember when my best friend was stranded, the day that you loved me may never arrive We were almost dead, we almost went somewhere, charmed while we tear down left behind Not to be who I am, takes a lot of work this time to lock everything back up inside Doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you, doesn't matter if I live or die I'm in the mirror with my best friend's twelfth strand, trying to worship sixties California No, not so, contemporary way Everybody's got their heart in a wheelchair, and I've finally come up for air The lazy eye of the sun comes up slowly, and a million candlelit cities disappear Doesn't matter if I don't get to keep you, it doesn't matter if I live or die, it doesn't matter that your boyfriend left you But it doesn't matter, that I love your smile
