[Verse 1]
You made it out of your home town alive
Would you believe that in your lady's eyes
You are brighter
You are holier in her light?
From the west down to the east
I still remember peace
I hold you in my heart
Does it matter, tell me, does it matter?
Will it matter, tell me, will it matter?
[Chorus]
You have felt the rain before
I recall the colour in your eyes
Could you let me be a part of this?
I’ll try, try
[Verse 2]

When you get back to where you started
Does it matter, tell me, does it matter?
Will it matter? Tell me

You have felt that rain before
I recall the colour in your eyes
Could you let me be a part of this?
I’ll try, try
[Verse 4]
Sometime before the storm
I felt that I was warmer
I held you in my heart
Did it matter then?
Did I reach the end?
[Outro]
I thought I saw the end it coming
I thought I had a love you holding
You are everything I would like to be
You are everything I would like to be
You are everything I would like to be
You are everything I would like to be
