Things That Matter

[Verse] Sometimes he lets that boss get In his head He can't see passed that mountain Of deadlines on his desk Five o'clock, he's the last one Out of the gate And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off Out on the interstate And he wonders why this world won't Leave him alone Til he hears that little voice holler Daddy's home [Chorus] Things that matter Things that don't She's held on to that grudge All her life And thirty years of anger Since her dad walked out that night She thinks of all the moments That he's missed All the birthdays, ballets, first dates It seems too much to forget She gets that call that said he Don't have long She walks in, he starts crying The past is gone [Chorus] Things that matter Things that don't [Bridge] Time ain't on our side Don't wanna leave this world With why didn't I, why didn't I Yeah, why didn't I Sometimes I take on this world By myself Thinking I got all the answers Don't need anybody's help When God was right there waiting For me all along To fall down on my knees Surrender all [Chorus] Things that matter, things that don't Things that matter, things that don't
