Lyrics

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 that 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
