Because It Mattered

[Intro]
I spend all my days
In California, little older
Lost in where we came
'Cause livin' here's just not the same

[Verse 1]
So tell me baby
If we could do it all over again
Would you love me like you did?
Or work it out just as friends
Oh tell me baby, what's it all for?
Was it everything you wanted and more?

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey love
We're oceans away, feels out of place
Is it only right if it's easy?
There's no taking it back
But if we had a chance, would you need me?

[Chorus]
It only hurt because it mattered
The proof is in the pain
And even though you're gone now
That doesn't mean it's gonna change
'Cause I remember sittin' solo on the train
I was headin' to the East side, even in the pouring rain
There's no place I would rather stay
Just another night with you, soft lips and a pillowcase

[Verse 2]
And if I had to do it all again
I would take you by the hand and drive off to a better place
I'd give you every day that I had
I would cherish every moment like the last

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey love
We're oceans away, feels out of place
Is it only right if it's easy?
There's no taking it back
But if we had a chance, would you need me?

[Chorus]
It only hurt because it mattered
The proof is in the pain
And even though you're gone now
That doesn't mean it's gonna change
'Cause I remember sittin' solo on the train
I was headin' to the East side, even in the pouring rain
There's no place I would rather stay
Just another night with you, soft lips and a pillowcase

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey love
We're oceans away, feels out of place
Is it only right if it's easy?
There's no taking it back
But if we had a chance, would you need me?

[Chorus]
It only hurt because it mattered
The proof is in the pain
And even though you're gone now
That doesn't mean it's gonna change
'Cause I remember sittin' solo on the train
I was headin' through the East side, even in the pouring rain
There's no place I would rather stay
Just another night with you, soft lips and a pillowcase

[Outro]
(Another night with you)
(Another night with you)
(Another night with you)
