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 them
under lock and key
You've got me driving
through the streets
for an answer to the mystery
The world's still awake 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 walking through
the front door
makes me nervous
It's creeping up the floorboards
got me wondering where I stand
I cannot put out the fire
I've 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 falling 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're hanging on the line
It was just a matter
It was a matter of time
We'd find ourselves a place
We belong in this 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
Flailing 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 halos
And it's here on our street
