Lyrics to Tears That Don't Matter
Open a door, hold hands
Empty your pockets and get to know Jesus
Have a heart, watch where you're going
That's where you'll see enough blood for a lifetime
Play nice, learn a lesson
Fall apart as easily as moonlight
Know what you want, give it to someone
Spending their memory's nickels and pennies
You're only as empty as the lost and found
A cup with a crack, a necklace to tangle
Only as true to life as a lost and found
Socks and a watch left in a lunchbox
Tears that don't matter now
Make time, die trying
Trust your gut if it's there for the taking
Look alive, don't listen
Anything worth it is said in cold water
Fly right, eat a rainbow
Speak of the devil when gods in the details
Meet the moment, kill kindness
Finding and keeping that pot you can piss in
So are you or are you not the lost and found
A coat with a phone, a crayon for breaking
Only as true to life as a lost and found
A rock and roll keychain, that wish you could whistle
And tears that don't matter now
What goes in is never what comes out
The hole in a yard ball, pieces of seashell
You're only empty as a lost and found
Sounds from a house, the end of a candle
That kiss for your trouble, ice and its goosebumps
All the runaway meanings of keeping your hat on
The names and their bruises, some eyes that got empty
One chance in a million, the light where you lost her
The miles and a mother shed like a snakeskin
Some shame and some anger and all those drugs just for nothing
A swimming of colors on a Japanese beetle
When the cynic within you finally bowed to a daughter
And the sea and its reasoning and the bones of your music
And that voice that you love and the life you were dreaming
The doors that keep closing, all the hands you let go of
And the tears that don't matter
Empty your pockets and get to know Jesus
Have a heart, watch where you're going
That's where you'll see enough blood for a lifetime
Play nice, learn a lesson
Fall apart as easily as moonlight
Know what you want, give it to someone
Spending their memory's nickels and pennies
You're only as empty as the lost and found
A cup with a crack, a necklace to tangle
Only as true to life as a lost and found
Socks and a watch left in a lunchbox
Tears that don't matter now
Make time, die trying
Trust your gut if it's there for the taking
Look alive, don't listen
Anything worth it is said in cold water
Fly right, eat a rainbow
Speak of the devil when gods in the details
Meet the moment, kill kindness
Finding and keeping that pot you can piss in
So are you or are you not the lost and found
A coat with a phone, a crayon for breaking
Only as true to life as a lost and found
A rock and roll keychain, that wish you could whistle
And tears that don't matter now
What goes in is never what comes out
The hole in a yard ball, pieces of seashell
You're only empty as a lost and found
Sounds from a house, the end of a candle
That kiss for your trouble, ice and its goosebumps
All the runaway meanings of keeping your hat on
The names and their bruises, some eyes that got empty
One chance in a million, the light where you lost her
The miles and a mother shed like a snakeskin
Some shame and some anger and all those drugs just for nothing
A swimming of colors on a Japanese beetle
When the cynic within you finally bowed to a daughter
And the sea and its reasoning and the bones of your music
And that voice that you love and the life you were dreaming
The doors that keep closing, all the hands you let go of
And the tears that don't matter
