You're looking for a way out, I can feel it
C'mon show me where it hurts, maybe I can heal it
You're feelings are your own, now you keep them under lock and key
You've got me driving through the streets for an anser to the mystery
The world still weeps on Charlston 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 a 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
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 at whats laying at our feet
That's the wreakage of broken dreams
And burned out halos
And it's here on our street
end
