Timelines Lyrics - Motion City Soundtrack

Sifting through the broken glass 

The echoes of my ancient past 

Keep flooding into every pore 

Like scattered seeds of sycamore 

Suddenly I started wondering how I got here 

Was it a matter of timing? 

Catholic school my private Hell 

I stuttered 'til the age of twelve 

Discovered sex at seventeen 

And soon thereafter Self Esteem 

The days did not matter 

And years were a lifetime away 

Drowning in a heavy stock 

Of teenage girls and Indie Rock 

I flunked out of each college course 

And set my sails for no remorse 

The nights were from nowhere 

And that's where I wanted to be 

Someone said, 

"It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing" 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? 

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? 

Branded, marked and paper thin 

This angry saint went marching in 

To war with scores of ninety proof 

Found nothing but the ugly truth 

The decade of wastage an instant 

And everything's changed 

Woke up feeling 35 

Though grateful that I'm still alive 

Another chance at normalcy 

To chase the dream but now it seems 

That days run away like wild horses over the hills 

Someone said, 

"It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing" 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? 

It's just a matter of time 

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? 

Take it in and hold on while you can 

All the destruction of one day and 

And you'll finally know exactly who you are 

It's just a matter of timing 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? 

It's just a matter of time 

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? 

It's just a matter of time 

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? 

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?
