So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yea-yeah

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

    i think a lot of people miss the whole point of this album. just about every song talks about youth being lost and the struggle of finding purpose in life. and this song is basically about how you should find what you want to do in life and be happy doing it - nothing else matters. true it could be about love, but it doesn't really fit with the unforgiven or don't tread on me. which what makes this album such a political statement for me. it basically is saying - screw the educational system, we need to get back to what people want to do with their lives, and that doesn't necessarily mean moving into meaningless positions created by business people/politicians.

    correct me if im wrong tho
