The Killers
Текст песни Matter of Time

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
Got me driving through the streets
For an answer to the mystery

The Willows still weep 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
How can I 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 falling back on forever,
Then 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
It was just a matter, it was a matter of time

We'd find ourselves a place
We belong and live 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 a 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 laid on our feet
That's the wreckage of broken dreams and burned out halos
And it's here on our street
