[Verse]
They say a passionate heart is a curious thing
A chain of a reaction
A burden of pain
And the heaviest storm
It ain’t got a patch
Oh, the pressure we face
Everyday there’s a catch

[Chorus]
One day we all cross that line and it don’t take forever
It’s just a matter of time
And if you turn to leave tonight It ain’t a case of when
It’s just a matter of time

[Verse]
So I made our connection a private affair
They claim a hidden agenda
I don’t have a care
All the letters they writе aim to be so cold (can’t bring me down at all)
I don’t need no advice
On what’s good for my soul

[Chorus]
Onе day we all cross that line and it don’t take forever
It’s just a matter of time
And if you turn to leave tonight it ain’t a case of when
It’s just a matter of time
[Bridge/Middle 8]
It’s a wait not a flash to find where we’re going
So don’t turn away, I gotta tell you

[Verse]
So I made our connection a private affair
They claim a hidden agenda
I don’t have a care
All the letters they write aim to be so cold
I don’t need no advice
On what’s good for my soul

[Chorus]
One day we all cross that line and it don’t take forever
It’s just a matter of time (just a matter of time)
And if you turn to leave tonight it ain’t a case of when
It’s just a matter of time

[Coda]
Let's see it, come on
(Ooh ooh)
Just a matter of time
Just a matter of time
Just a matter of time
