I've met a million people in my life
And they all had something to say
But if I'd listened to everyone's problems
Well, I'd never get through my day

Everyone thinks they're so special
And I'm here to tell you that you're not
The only words that matter in life
Are the ones that Elias got

A man comes up to me and he says he used to play guitar
Back in his day
I said: Sir, can you please quiet down? You're in my way
Then a woman stops me as I'm walking, and she stops me right in my place
She says: Elias, I'm such a big fan
I said: Of course you are, now get out of my face

Because everyone thinks they're so special
And I'm here to tell you you're not
The only words that matter in this life
Are the ones that Elias got

A little kid tells me that because of me he started playing guitar
I said: That's obvious kiddo, but don't forget this next part, okay?
Elias is a star!
No matter what I do
No matter what I say
It's like more people love me every single day

And that got me thinking
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I misjudged them
And then I remembered

Everyone thinks they're so special
Well I'm here to tell you that you're not
The only words that matter in life
Are the ones that Elias got

And don't you forget it!
