[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

[Chorus 1]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

[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

[Chorus 1]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

[Instrumental]

[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

[Chorus 2]
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for the games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah

[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

[Instrumental Outro]
