It Matters Now

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 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 Hopes worn down, you've 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 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 I won't matter when we're old It matters now, it mattered then It matters how why or when If at first you won't try You've gotta try again What price love, for how much pain What a surprise, you pray for rain 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
