Shawn Colvin - A Matter Of Minutes Lyrics






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

'Cos 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...

I can 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

  1. J.... S....

    One of my absolute favorite songs ever ❤️❤️❤️

  2. F.... ....

    God this song makes me think about my marriage and it makes me cry because I know it's over but we both dont want to let go....😂😂

  3. R.... S....

    For me, this song isn't about relationships ending, it's about not running away from those endings, or any other problems, and how hard that can be. I listen to it whenever I'm so done with my recent mistakes and my own misery I want to pack up and run to a new place and reinvent myself...but I don't anymore. I face my demons now. And it's hard sometimes.
