[Verse 1]
You don't need to bring me candy or flowers
You don't need a clumsy sonnet from me
When the night falls on us tone-deaf and ringing
You know you're always my middle C

[Chorus]
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time

[Verse 2]
How's the stroke of someone's pen gonna change us?
You have my love for free, oh
You have everything that I have to offer
We'll know when we are ready

[Chorus]
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Who remembers any men from before me?
We've always been alone
In a world so full of murky intentions
We'll make ourselves a home

[Chorus]
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time

[Outro]
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time
In a matter of, in a matter of
It's a matter of time
