The Things That Matter The Dismemberment Plan

[Verse 1]
I heard the sirens blare
I saw the warning lights
So lover you're the one that pulled the trigger
Ain't that a thing?
Well this is red alert
And I don't mind saying I'm scared
Cause I could try and try and never really feel prepared

[Chorus]
It's only for the things that matter
Only for the things that really count
I wouldn't have it any other way

[Verse 2]
So now you're talking again
I simply don't want to know
Life is too surprising as it is
I ain't no boyfriend
I got me these magical properties
I got three spells to cast
And intend to make them last

[Chorus]
It's only for the things that matter
Only for the things that really count
I wouldn't have it any other way
Only for the things that matter
Only for the things that really count
I wouldn't have it any other way
