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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
