A Matter of Time
(Lori Rosolowsky)
“It is time-consuming to have enemies.” –E.B. White
Well I traveled in circles instead of a line
Jumped over hurdles to ensure you were fine
Showed the whole world you were a friend of mine
But I guess it was a matter of time.
’Cause when I thought for sure I would see your face
I was going the distance, I was in first place
You were off running in your own rat race
Oh yes, always a matter of time.
Last time, this time too
You don’t mean to hurt me, you’ve got so much to do
Well, this time, I’ll learn from you
‘Cause last time I was caught, but this time I will not
Wait to be your afterthought.
Well it may happen in winter, or a day without end
Although you have hurt me, my feelings will mend and
I’ll fall into my habit of being your friend
Oh yes, it’s just a matter of time.
But the next time I rearrange my life to be there
Next time I make a card showing I care
Next time I open up my heart and share
I’ll remember, you don’t have the time.
Last time, this time
You don’t mean to hurt me, the thought slipped your mind
Well next time, I’ll be fine,
I’ll still do what I do, I won’t stay mad at you
It’s just a matter of time.
