MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK - Timelines lyrics

rate me

Sifting through the broken glass

The echoes of my ancient past

Keep flooding into every pore

Like scattered seeds of sycamore

Suddenly I started wondering how I got here

Was it a matter of time?

Catholic school my private Hell

I stuttered 'til the age of twelve

Discovered sex at seventeen

And soon thereafter Self Esteem

The days did not matter

And years were a lifetime away

Drowning in a heavy stock

Of teenage girls and Indie Rock

I flunked out of each college course

And set my sails for no remorse

The nights were for nowhere

And that's where I wanted to be

Someone said,

"It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing"

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

Branded, marked and paper thin

This angry saint went marching in

To war with scores of ninety proof

Found nothing but the ugly truth

The decade of wastage an instant

And everything's changed

Woke up feeling 35

Though grateful that I'm still alive

Another chance at normalcy

To chase the dream but now it seems

That days run away like wild horses over the hills

Someone said,

"It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing"

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

It's just a matter of time

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

Take it in and hold on while you can

All the destruction will one day end

And you'll finally know exactly who you are

It's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

It's just a matter of time

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

It's just a matter of time

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?
