what matters most

Ben Folds

I could not see the haze back in the day
When we lived inside of it
Now I m floating away
And haunting the halls night and day
Out in some storage space out on the highway
Fifteen years tossed in boxes
Topped with old bills, phones, pictures and trash
All the dramas and memories attached

Now I m wondering
What matters most?

A true friend is someone who when you are with them
You know what matters most
Oh, but that doors slams so tight
With you and our time trapped behind it
Now you re floating away
But in these days of overwhelming change
I just want to know what I want
Becaus? I only seem to know what I don t

With so little time
What matters most?

T?ll me what
What matters most?

I keep going for the phone
To send you a note with the news
And I m thinking man, you won t believe this
You re gone
Sorting through photos of fake smiles
and photos of real ones
Now I m throwing the whole lot in the bin
Just got a glimpse
Of what matters most

Tell me what
What matters most?
