Matter of Minutes - Shawn Colvin

I’ve been thinking

About you and me

Maybe I was just

Seeing what I wanted to see

Well you can call me crazy

But you know this time I swore

That I wouldn’t run

But I can’t do that anymore

I can’t find my way to stay

And I can’t see my way to go

But I can’t give up without a fight

I can pack myself up in a matter of minutes

Leave you all far behind

And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find

If they ever were mine

Well you’ve been trying

And I know it’s been hard

And I’m afraid of

All this blood in my heart

If there’s one thing certain

It’s there ain’t nothing for sure

And I want to run

But I can’t do that anymore

'Cause I can’t meet you half way

And I can’t have it my way

And I can’t give up without a fight

I can pack myself up in a matter of minutes

Leave you all far behind

And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find

All of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find

Like they ever were mine

I could count the good times we had

On one hand

All the rest was

A sort of means to the end

Well, now it’s done

And I can never

Go back where I was before

And I want to run

Get myself clean in a matter of minutes

Get it wrong every time

All of my whole world and all the things in it are hard to, hard to find

Everything changed in a matter of minutes

Nothing was saved in time

And all of my old world and all the things in it are hard to find

But they never

Never

Never

Were mine
