A Matter Of Time Lyrics - Battle Born - The Killers

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 awake 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 

I cannot put out the fire, I've got a book of matches in my hand

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

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 

Photos 

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 what's laying at our feet 

That's the wreckage of broken dreams 

And burned out halos 

And it's here on our street
