A Matter Of Time

You're looking for a way out
I can feel it
(Ohhhhhhh oohhh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh)
Come on show me where it hurts
Maybe I can heal it
(Oooohhhh oohhh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh)
Your feelings are your own now you keep
Them under lock and key,
(Oooh ooohh ooohhhhh ohhh oh oh ohh)
You got me driving through the streets
For an answer to the mystery.
(Ooohh ooohhh ohhh ohh ohh oh oh ohhhh)

The willows still weep on Charleston Avenue
(The willows still weep)
Outside that vacant Starlight motel
I see you laughing with your girlfriends
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
It was a matter of time.

Theres a panic in this house and its bound to surface
(Oohhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh)
Just walking through the front door makes me nervous
(Oohhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh)
Its creeping up the floor boards got me wondering where I stand
(Oohhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh)
How can I put out the fire, I got a book of matches in my hand?
(Oohhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh)

When we first met
Head strong and filled with doubt
(Filled with doubt)
Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out
(Take you out)
I was falling back on forever
Then you told me about your heart
You laid it on the line
(Ohhhh ohhhhhhhhh)
(Yeeeaahhhhh yeeahhhhhh)

Laughing with your girlfriends
Not a care in the world
Not a burden on your mind
(You laid it on the line)
It I knew right then and there
It was only a matter of time.

We find ourselves a place we belong in this forever
Ain't that what it's all about
Make the promise to keep it
Come hell or high water
We'd figure it out.

It was the night
It was the moon
It was the green grass in the garden
The victory and the sin
I know you're weary
Look at me
Flailing in the corner
Now heres the towel
Go on, throw it in.

It was a matter of time
Cant you see that its tearing me up inside?
Look whats laid on our feet
Thats the wreckage of broken dreams and burned out halos
And its here on our street.
(Ooohhh ohhhh)
