[Hook]
(Ooh, just a matter of time)
(Just a matter, a matter of time)
(Ooh, just a matter of time)
(Just a matter, a matter of time)

[Verse 1]
Only the saddest lines have permission to cross the sky
(It's just a matter, a matter of time)
And there's an absence of darkness in your
Tragic and magical eyes
(It's just a matter, a matter of time)
It's easy to choose solitude but you feel much better when you feel
Surrounded by life
So don't isolate yourself on an island
Half of the time

[Chorus]
A stable full of houses
A fully automatic washing machine
An armchair, whitewashing the walls
Existence isn't always everything

[Hook]
(Ooh, it's just a matter of time)
(Just a matter, a matter of time)
(Ooh, it's just a matter of time)
(Just a matter, a matter of time)
[Verse 2]
A selection of my memories
Externalised
(It's just a matter, a matter of time)
She was she, he was now
Did anyone work out if they were someone in particular?
(It's just a matter, a matter of time)
I bet he didn't choose to lose but
Always ended up at the back of the line
(It's just a matter, a matter of time)
Catching a glimpse of someone for others to dream in
But their dreams are so different from mine

[Chorus]
A stable full of houses
A fully automatic washing machine
Inside I'm dreaming of nowhere
No one is an expert on everything
Old-fashioned, broken, useless
Almost incomprehensible
If you believe in values
Obligations aren't always everything

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
A stable full of houses
A fully automatic washing machine
An armchair, whitewashing the walls
Existence isn't always everything
