Used to matter

See, these days its different,
Its all new. The old is gone
and I am too
wishing I was closer to
back when it used to matter
All my coins are gone,
its plastic now
My ipod's got me asking "how
could all my albums take me down
to back when it used to matter?"

Now it seems that we
are all wrapped up so tight,
light just can't get in
And I feel that we can't see
And I feel, its not "maybe"

See, my watch is worthless,
so is my pen
and it seems nothing is
greater than
something that takes me
way back when, to
back when it used to matter

All the words I write
are on screen,
and the friends I have
have "added" me
and theres no record
of anything,
and now we all cease to matter So you die when you turn 22
but they gonna wait to bury you
cuz you got a 9 to 5 to do
and thats supposed to matter

So you replace your time
in between
with other peoples'
hopes and dreams
and they live their lives on
your TV
and now you don't even matter

I just want us to be who were
supposed to be and who we are
doesn't it seem like wer kinda
far from the original plan
from the start back
When it used to matter
