What Matters Most lyrics - Ben Folds

I could not see the haze

Back in the day when we lived inside of it

Now I'm floating away

And haunting the halls night and day

Out in some storage space out on the highway

Fifteen years tossed in boxes

Chocked with old bills, phones, pictures and trash

Oh, the dramas and memories attached

Now I'm wondering

What matters most?

A true friend is

Someone who when you are with them

You know what matters most

Oh, but that door slammed so tight

With you and our time trapped behind it

Now you're floating away

But in these days of overwhelming change

I just wanna know what I want

Because I only seem to know what I don't

With so little time

What matters most? Mmm

Tell me what, what matters most? Mmm

I keep going for the phone

To send you a note with the news

And I'm thinking, "Man, you won't believe this"

You're gone

Sorting through photos of fake smiles

And photos of real ones

Now I've thrown the whole lot in the bin

Just got a glimpse

Of what matters most, mmm

Tell me what

What matters most, mmm
