Music and Lyrics by Steven S. Shonder

lyrics

You wouldn’t let me leave
You wouldn’t be ignored
I guess I didn’t know
That I was misinformed

There was a vicious storm
Brewing in the sky
But you kept me warm
Until we said goodbye
and then I realize I’m happy that I stayed

These things they matter

I thought I had it all
When I was twenty four
I was a first-class lush
And a carnivore

But you became a dream
Magic to explore
Then it’s the only thing
That I was hungry for

These things they matter

I thought I could mumble my way through
But when you saw me stumble
I didn’t think that’s what I wanted you to see
So I pretty much just cut that out of me

I thought if I was away from you that day
I could pretty much resume my wandering ways
Then it kinda hit me that maybe I didn’t recognize
the gift I’d have if I just let you in

I didn’t know before
But now I understand
Even when you whisper
There no reprimand

I bought black sedan
And a small bouquet
It wasn’t your idea
And when you took it over
there wasn’t any difference anyway
