Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
[Verse 4]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
Because I know
[Verse 5]
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
[Verse 6]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
Because I know
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
No nothing else matters
[Verse 9]
Never cared for things they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
Because I know
[Verse 10]
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
(And nothing else matters)
