"Used To Matter" lyrics

See these days it's different
It's 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
It's plastic now
My iPad's got me asking how
Could all my albums take me down?
To back when it used
To matter?

[Chorus:]
Now it seems
That we are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel
That we can't see
Now it seems
That we are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel
It's not maybe

See, my watch is worthless
So is my pen
And it seems nothing's 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 there's no record of anything
Now we all cease to matter

[Chorus:]
Now it seems
That we are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel
That we can't see
Now it seems
That we are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel
It's not maybe
It's not maybe

So you die when you turn 22
But they gonna wait to bury you
Cause you got a 9 to 5 to do
And that's supposed to matter
And you replace your time in between
With other people's hopes and dreams
And they live their lives on your T.V.
And now you don't even matter

Oh it seems
That we are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel
That we can't see
That we can't see
Oh that we
Oh that we
Are all wrapped up so tight light just can't get in
And I feel
That we can't see
It's not maybe
It's certainly
And I know we can't see
I just want us to be
Who we're supposed to be
Who we're supposed to be
Who we are
And well Doesn't it seem like we're kinda
far from the original plan
from the start Back
When It Used To Matter
