A Matter Of Time - The Killers

You’re looking for a way out

I can feel it Come on, show me where it hurts

Maybe I can heal it Your feelings are your own

Now you keep 'em under lock and key

You got me drivin’through the streets

For an answer to the mystery

The world’s still weak?

on Charleston Avenue

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

There’s a panic in this house and it’s bound to surface

Just walkin’through the front door makes me nervous

It’s creepin’up the floorboards, got me wondering where I stand

I cannot put out the fire, I got a book of matches in my hand

When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt

Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out

I was fallin’back on forever when you told me about your heart

You laid it on the line

Laughing with your girlfriends

Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind

(You laid it on the line)

It was just a matter, It was a matter of time

We found ourselves

We belong in it forever

Ain’t that what it’s all about?

Make the promise and 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 Flailin’in the corner

Here’s the towel

Go on, throw it in It was a matter of time

Can’t you see that it’s tearing me up inside?

Look what’s laying at our feet

That’s the wreckage of broken dreams

And burned out (?)

And it’s here on our street
