The Things That Matter

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
 It's only for the things that matter
 Only for the things that really count
 I wouldn't have it any other way
 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
 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
 YEAH
 So now you're crying again
 It's not your most attractive state
 I really wonder what I'm doing here with you
 But whatever cause this is playing with wire
 My heart broke down entire
 And lets be honest yeah
 They don't stay broken all that long
 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
 I wouldn't have it any other way
 I wouldn't have it anyway
