A matter of time lyrics - The Killers song

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 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 walking through the front door
Makes me nervous
It's creeping up the floorboorda
Got me wondering where I stand
I can not put out the fire
I've got a book of matches in my hand

When we first met
Headstrong and filled with doubt
Did just enough, hustling tables
Just 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

You're hanging on the line!

It was just a matter
It was a matter of time

We found ourselves a place
People longing on forever
And I know it's all about
Make a promise and keep it calm
Oh, how I ought to
We'd figure it out
It was the night, it was the moment
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 laid at your feet
it's a wreckage of broken dreams
And burned out hails
And it's here on our street
