Rickie Lee Jones - Matters lyrics

What you wish for, what you think The photographs you carry around What whispers to yourself when you're finally gone What you take when you go Adds up to the big number What you leave with Who you know Makes the big picture matter It doesn't matter if you're fat Wear a helmet or wear a hat If you're sorry or if you're sure Who you are is who you were, who you were matters So deep inside yourself Looking out at everyone else Think a thing, in a while you meet it on the street Because it matters... Ah...house across the sand
