[Verse 1]
Suddenly you're born
Cut from your mother's cord
You get to dream with open eyes
Then mother dies
Cut from another side
And you may do what you decide

[Chorus]
But it doesn't really matter if you ever want to try
It doesn't really matter if you live or die
It doesn't really matter if you touch the stars
It doesn't really make a difference who you are

[Verse 2]
Not so alone with kids at home
But they flicker away and disappear
Suddenly you're old
You've got to go
But before you do you need to know

[Chorus]
That it doesn't really matter if you wasted all your time
It doesn't really matter if you lived or died
It doesn't really matter if you touched the stars
It doesn't really make a difference who you are, yeah
[Bridge]
So it goes
And you won't ever get to know
If you were alive or dreaming

[Chorus]
It doesn't really matter if you're wasting all your time
It doesn't really matter if you live or die
It doesn't really matter if you touch the stars
It doesn't really make a difference who you are
