It Matters Now

[Verse 1]
Sour, sour grapes make bitter wine
And you're no funny Valentine
You take such pleasure in revenge
A perfect settled score
But it just whets your appetite for more

[Chorus]
Listen how my heart beats inside me
The story of a thousand better days
And I wish I could say anything to wash away today
'Cause it won't matter when we're old
It won't matter when we're old
It matters now

[Verse 2]
Hopes worn down, you got dreams rubbed thin
Threadbare like the carpet that your mother dragged in
You break it now you own it
Like original sin
But you cannot take it with you in the state you're in

[Chorus]
Listen how my heart beats inside me
The story of a thousand better days
And I wish I could say anything to wash away today
'Cause it won't matter when we're old
It won't matter when we're old

[Post-Chorus]
It matters now, it mattered then
It matters how why or when
If at first you won't try
You gotta try again

[Verse 3]
What price love for how much pain?
What a surprise, you prayed for rain

[Chorus]
And listen how my heart beats inside me
The story of a thousand better days
And I wish I could say anything to wash away today
'Cause it won't matter when we're old
It won't matter when we're old
Listen how my heart beats inside me
The story of a thousand better days
And I wish I could say anything to wash away today
'Cause it won't matter when we're old
It won't matter when we're old
It matters now
