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
