You're looking for a way outI can feel itCome on, show me where it hurtsMaybe I can heal itYour feelings are your ownNow you keep 'em under lock and keyYou got me drivin' through the streetsFor an answer to the mysteryThe world's still weak on Charleston AvenueOutside that vacant Starlight Motel I see youLaughing with your girlfriendsNot a care in the world, not a burden on your mindIt was a matter of timeThere's a panic in this house and it's bound to surfaceJust walkin' through the front door makes me nervousIt's creepin' up the floorboards, got me wondering where I standI cannot put out the fire, I got a book of matches in my handWhen we first met, headstrong and filled with doubtMade just enough hustling tables that summer to take you outI was fallin' back on forever when you told me about your heartYou laid it on the lineSongtexteLaughing with your girlfriendsNot a care in the world, not a burden on your mind(You laid it on the line)It was just a matter, It was a matter of timeWe found ourselvesWe belong in it foreverAin't that what it's all about?Make the promise and keep itCome hell or high waterWe'd figure it outIt was the night, it was the moonIt was the green grass in the gardenThe victory and the sinI know you're weary, look at meFlailin' in the cornerHere's the towelGo on, throw it inIt was a matter of timeCan't you see that it's tearing me up inside?Look what's laying at our feetThat's the wreckage of broken dreamsAnd burned out hales And it's here on our street Aus Songtexte Mania
