MATTER OF TIME
WRITTEN BY: THE RESCUES
YOU ALWAYS GET THE LAST WORD
YOU FLY LIKE A MOCKINGBIRD
EVERYTIME I GET YOU CORNERED YOU SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERS, YOU DO
WHEN I’M TRYING TO OUTRUN YOU
YOU WON’T LEAVE ME ALONE
WHEN I NEED YOU TO BE WITH ME
I END UP ON MY OWN
OH I WISH THAT I COULD MOVE YOU
FASTER, BE STILL OR REWIND
BUT IT’S A MATTER OF TIME
MY HEART IS A RUBBERBAND
STRUNG OUT BETWEEN YOUR HANDS
YOU GAVE ME LOVE BUT I WASN’T READY THEN, AND YOU TOOK IT BACK NOW THAT I AM
WHEN I’M TRYING TO OUTRUN YOU
YOU WON’T LEAVE ME ALONE
WHEN I NEED YOU TO BE WITH ME
I END UP ON MY OWN
OH I WISH THAT I COULD MOVE YOU
FASTER, BE STILL OR REWIND
BUT IT’S A MATTER OF TIME
MY LOVE, (WHY CAN’T WE GO BACK THERE) MY FATE, (ARE WE BEYOND REPAIR)
A YEAR (IT’S NOT SO FAR AWAY) TOO LATE (CAN WE START OVER AGAIN)
IF HE COULD SEE (WHAT HE COULD BE WITH ME) ME NOW (THAT I FEEL DIFFERENTLY)
I’VE COME (HE’LL SEE I’VE COME) AROUND
WHEN I’M TRYING TO OUTRUN YOU
YOU WON’T LEAVE ME ALONE
WHEN I NEED YOU TO BE WITH ME
I END UP ON MY OWN
OH I WISH THAT I COULD MOVE YOU
FASTER, BE STILL OR REWIND
BUT IT’S A MATTER OF TIME
