Matter of Time by Kevin Klein Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Friends, they are so far away
Spread out across the country
All doin' their own thing
Yeah, I know it's good
That we're all growing up, I guess
I don't deal with change as good as the rest
To the nights spent out on Singing Beach
With no concept of time or what day of the week
Out until midnight, counting stars until the sun
Looking back, my god, those days were so fun
[Chorus]
It's not a matter of wrong or right
Driving down Route 1 on those Friday nights
And it'll last forever, the kids from Calvary
From all the good excuses we could find
It was just a matter of time
[Verse 2]
Oh, my band, we're finally calling it quits
Five years working our asses off, trying to make it big
I don't regret one single moment in that van
I just hope that I don't lose my best friends
And to the months spent out there on the road
Driving across the country with no idea where to go
To the people that we met and all the floors we used as beds
Well, to tell the truth, I'd do it all again
[Chorus]
Oh, and here I am 'cause it's not a matter of giving up
Those kids with big dreams, chasing what we loved
It couldn't last forever, the boys from E.T.F
From all the good excuses we could find
It was just a matter of time, oh
[Verse 3]
To my adolescent sweetheart, what are your plans?
Do you still want to move to Nashville? The minutes [?]
I see you're finding the strength to chase your dreams
Well, I just hope that you'll find the strength to forgive me
Oh, I just hope you'll find the strength to forgive me
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not a matter of wrong or right
Who took too much? Or who gave in spite?
It didn't last forever, but you're forever my first love
Oh, and from all the good excuses we could find
It's the reason things change and don't ask why
It's just a matter of time, just a matter of time
Friends, they are so far away
Spread out across the country
All doin' their own thing
Yeah, I know it's good
That we're all growing up, I guess
I don't deal with change as good as the rest
To the nights spent out on Singing Beach
With no concept of time or what day of the week
Out until midnight, counting stars until the sun
Looking back, my god, those days were so fun
[Chorus]
It's not a matter of wrong or right
Driving down Route 1 on those Friday nights
And it'll last forever, the kids from Calvary
From all the good excuses we could find
It was just a matter of time
[Verse 2]
Oh, my band, we're finally calling it quits
Five years working our asses off, trying to make it big
I don't regret one single moment in that van
I just hope that I don't lose my best friends
And to the months spent out there on the road
Driving across the country with no idea where to go
To the people that we met and all the floors we used as beds
Well, to tell the truth, I'd do it all again
[Chorus]
Oh, and here I am 'cause it's not a matter of giving up
Those kids with big dreams, chasing what we loved
It couldn't last forever, the boys from E.T.F

Oh, and from all the good excuses we could find

It's just a matter of time, just a matter of time
