And wherever we go
And whatever we do
And whatever we see
And whoever we be
It dont matter
It dont matter
I dont mind cause you dont matter
I dont mind cause I dont matter
(And dont shit matter)
Youll see in the end
Ive got a feeling that theres somethin more
Something that holds us together
Something that holds us together
The strangest feeling but I cant be sure
Something thats old is forever
Something thats old is forever
Love
