Matter of Time

If I swallow this pill
At the top of the hill
Will I sleep when I get to the valley
If I drink from the cup
Do you think I'll wake up
Just in time for the season finale
Is it all based on code
Did it simply explode
Or did somebody set it in motion
As I question the air
Is it weirder out there
Or way down in the depths of the ocean

But the stars can't compare
To the breathable air
Of the planet that keeps you alive
Are we learning to cope
Is this some kind of joke
Is it all just a matter of time

I remember the past
Like the way that you laughed
When I jokingly called you your highness
If the moments that last
Are just things of the past
Baby why can't we put them behind us
A professor of love
Says it isn't enough
To have read all the books of the bible
You've got so much to give
You could probably live
If you weren't so obsessed with survival

From the oyster, the pearl
From the weight of the world
Comes the diamond you find in the mine
From the oyster, the shell
You can use one as well
Just make sure that you leave it behind
