Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
You've arrived in the land of a thousand different names
And the fabulous sons who crashed their planes in flames
Now tomorrow's back claiming redemption and is on your heels
And a toothless past is asking you how it feels
[Verse 3]
And me, my little red Corvette has driven by
Fair weather heart is falling in
My rainy day girl is feeling down
And she tells me that the world is spinning round
[Verse 4]
I say the dream was all for you
You're nobody else
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Yeah, oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
Hi, can I walk you home again today?
Gotta get forgive and forget, hey
Something good is happening, I don't know what it is
Don't you know we're back on trial again today?
[Verse 7]
And it's breaking wide for you
Hell, it's all because you're true
Someone untie my heart
Stopping and preachin and letting love in
[Verse 8]
You are my moon, you are my sun
Heaven knows what you are
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
Yes, they were
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
You
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
[Verse 9]
It doesn't matter what you try to do
Ah, ah (Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter what you try to do
(Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter where you try to go
(Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter who you really are
(Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
[Verse 10]
Doesn't matter
(Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter
(Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
It doesn't matter
Ah (Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter
Oh (Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
[Verse 11]
Said it doesn't matter
Ooh (Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Really doesn't matter
Ooh, now you
Doesn't matter
(Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter
(Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Doesn't matter
