The Big Picture lyrics

She says I don't care But that's not the way it is I know it's not But her words are so strong It's hard not to believe in them I say I don't mind But that's not the way it is I know it's not But my words are so small It's hard to hang on to them I could spend my whole life Thinking about what's important to me I could spend my whole life Thinking about what matters to me I could spend my whole life Worrying about what's going to happen to me I could waste my whole life Thinking about just what it is my life means She says I don't try But that's not the way it is I know it's not But she can read me like a book She's read a hundered thousand times I say it's all right But that's not the way it is I know it's not But I know in my heart That I'm so very tired of pretending Sometimes what matters doesn't really matter at all Sometimes it doesn't fit inside the big picture Sometimes I need to be just where I am Sometimes I need to know that right here is good enough She says I don't care But that's not the way it is I know it's not But her words are so strong It's hard not to believe in them I say I don't mind But that's not the way it is I know it's not But my words are so small It's hard to hang on to them I could spend my whole life Thinking about what's important to me I could spend my whole life Thinking about what matters to me I could spend my whole life Worrying about what's going to happen to me I could waste my whole life Thinking about just what it is my life means Sometimes what matters doesn't really matter at all Sometimes it doesn't fit inside the big picture Sometimes I need to be just where I am Sometimes I need to know that right here is good enough Sometimes I need to be just where I am Sometimes I need to know that right here is good enough
