Worldly Matters
Carly Rae Jepsen · Tug Of War [2008]
Hot pink skies, twilight of the day
Think that I've been going about this
The wrong way
Kids on my street got it right, man
Bare foot hide and seek
My best friend she lives up the road
Haven't talked to her in weeks
CHORUS
Time don't blind me
I am so sorry I've been
Swept up in my own concerns
And I know worldly matters they just
Don't matter at all. No, not at all.
I keep on walking I start ditching all my plans
Want to climb that cedar tree
And leave me in good hands
What happened to me
On the way to something higher?
Who will be left
When I have all that I desire?
CHORUS
Time don't blind me
I am so sorry I've been
Swept up in my own concerns
And I know worldly matters they just
Don't matter at all. No, not at all.
No, not at all.
Think that I've been going about this
The wrong way
Kids on my street got it right, man
Bare foot hide and seek
My best friend she lives up the road
Haven't talked to her in weeks
CHORUS
Time don't blind me
I am so sorry I've been
Swept up in my own concerns
And I know worldly matters they just
Don't matter at all. No, not at all.
I keep on walking I start ditching all my plans
Want to climb that cedar tree
And leave me in good hands
What happened to me
On the way to something higher?
Who will be left
When I have all that I desire?
CHORUS
Time don't blind me
I am so sorry I've been
Swept up in my own concerns
And I know worldly matters they just
Don't matter at all. No, not at all.
No, not at all.
