[00:00.00]A Matter Of Time
[00:00.30]The Killers
[00:14.79]
[00:42.22]You're looking for a way out, I can feel it
[00:45.85]
[00:48.51]Come on, show me where it hurts, maybe I can heal it
[00:55.57]Your feelings are your own, now you keep them under lock and key
[01:02.01]You've got me driving through the streets for an answer to the mystery
[01:05.19]
[01:09.80]The world's still awake on Charleston Avenue
[01:15.49]Outside that vacant starlight motel
[01:21.87]I see you
[01:23.43]Laughing with your girlfriends
[01:25.93]Not a care in the world
[01:27.62]Not a burden on your mind
[01:30.18]
[01:34.61]It was a matter of time
[01:37.93]
[01:43.24]There's a panic in this house and it's bound to surface
[01:46.80]
[01:49.46]Just walking through the front door makes me nervous
[01:56.71]It's creeping up the floorboards, got me wondering where I stand
[02:03.02]I cannot put out the fire, I've got a book of matches in my hand
[02:07.08]
[02:11.02]When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt
[02:17.46]Made just enough, hustling tables, that summer to take you out
[02:23.27]I was falling back on forever
[02:27.21]When you told me about your heart
[02:29.65]You laid it on the line
[02:31.59]
[02:44.28]Laughing with your girlfriends
[02:47.79]Not a care in the world
[02:48.97]Not a burden on your mind
[02:53.66]You''re hanging on the line!
[02:57.16]
[02:57.97]It was just a matter
[03:01.35]It was a matter of time
[03:04.60]
[03:06.97]We'd find ourselves a place, we belong in this forever
[03:10.22]Ain't that what it's all about?
[03:13.53]Make the promise and keep it
[03:15.04]Come hell or high water
[03:17.03]We'd figure it out
[03:20.04]
[03:21.98]It was the night, it was the moon
[03:23.85]It was the green grass in the garden
[03:25.66]The victory and the sin
[03:28.04]
[03:28.91]I know you're weary, look at me
[03:30.85]Flailing in the corner
[03:32.48]Here's the towel
[03:33.41]Go on, throw it in
[03:34.91]
[03:37.29]It was a matter of time
[03:42.60]Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside?
[03:46.10]Look what's laying at our feet
[03:49.48]That's the wreckage of broken dreams
[03:51.73]And burned out halos
[03:52.97]And it's here on our street
[03:55.79]
