0:21He lays alone cries on his own
0:26For horizons that he'll never reach
0:29And all of those dreams are washed on the beach
0:37She's drowning in oceans of shackled emotions
0:42Going round and around in her head
0:45While out on the streets people forget
0:52That it's love you want
0:56Love you want
1:00Love you want
1:05She speaks of hoping he speaks of fighting
1:10And tells her that they will come through
1:13'Cause he wants to feel the shock of the new
1:21People that hurt you and they burn you
1:25With acid the falls from the sky
1:29And out of the silence your voice says why
1:36If it's love you want
1:40Love you want
1:44Love you want
1:49It's a matter of time a matter of time
1:53But you're asking why oh life makes you cry
1:57Turn moss into roses and blood into wine
2:05It's a matter of time a matter of time
2:09But all of your past still plays on your mind
2:13And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design
2:19It's a matter of time
2:33This isn't giving this isn't living
2:37Ooh just days that pull you apart
2:41And tears turn to rust that fall on still hearts
2:49So swallow your maybes and cradle your babies
2:54Tell them that they will come through
2:57Their gonna feel the shock of the new
3:04And if it's love you want
3:08Love you want
3:12Love you want
3:16It's a matter of time a matter of time
3:21But you're asking why oh life makes you cry
3:25Turn moss into roses and blood into wine
3:33It's a matter of time a matter of time
3:37But all of your past still plays on your mind
3:41And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design
3:47It's a matter of time
4:01A matter of time a matter of time
4:17A matter of time a matter of time
4:33A matter of time a matter of time
4:49A matter of time a matter of time
He lays alone cries on his own For horizons that he'll never reach And all of those dreams are washed on the beach She's drowning in oceans of shackled emotions Going round and around in her head While out on the streets people forget That it's love you want Love you want Love you want She speaks of hoping he speaks of fighting And tells her that they will come through 'Cause he wants to feel the shock of the new People that hurt you and they burn you With acid the falls from the sky And out of the silence your voice says why If it's love you want Love you want Love you want It's a matter of time a matter of time But you're asking why oh life makes you cry Turn moss into roses and blood into wine It's a matter of time a matter of time But all of your past still plays on your mind And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design It's a matter of time This isn't giving this isn't living Ooh just days that pull you apart And tears turn to rust that fall on still hearts So swallow your maybes and cradle your babies Tell them that they will come through Their gonna feel the shock of the new And if it's love you want Love you want Love you want It's a matter of time a matter of time But you're asking why oh life makes you cry Turn moss into roses and blood into wine It's a matter of time a matter of time But all of your past still plays on your mind And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design It's a matter of time A matter of time a matter of time A matter of time a matter of time A matter of time a matter of time A matter of time a matter of time
