---Intro---
       


---Verse---

     

I'm tired

                         

cynical and broken, but wiser

                         

heavy with a sense of resentment

                          

but i used to be so much different

 

i used to have so much faith

         

when i started

                         

you knew that i always meant it

                        

i knew i could make a difference

 

i struggled to be heard

            

and then finally, one day people started listening

 
      
 


---Verse 2---

        

and i knew it

                                 

but as soon as it began it was ruined

                                 

a slow descent from unique to routine

 

over and over

      

just do it again and this time with feeling

     

the spotlight 

                                    

the focus on the friends and the feelings

                                         

that made those stupid songs all worth singing

 

and don't you say a word

                                                        
 
unless you're pretty sure that you want it analyzed

         


----Chorus----

       

so we drove

 

for what seemed like days

     

over roads

 

and four lane highways

    

we said all we had to say

                                                                          

and I realized in time that it didn't mean anything

Reapeat Chorus

C*carried from verse*        Am
It's only a matter of time
                        (Anything)

                            
It's only a matter of time
