[Verse 1]
Only a matter of time
Before we lose our mind
Only a matter of days left
Only a couple of ways down

[Chorus]
You know it don't feel so small
When you’re holding, I seem to call
Just reaching for her hand

[Verse 2]
Only a matter of aches
Before the body breaks
Only a matter of timing
Only a matter of ways down, goin'

[Chorus]
You know it don't feel so small
When you’re holding, I seem to call
Just reaching for her hand

[Verse 3]
Her psyche must be wild
'Cause just today I smiled
And I saw the number of letters
From the debt collectors that I left
You know it don't feel so small
Don't they know I owe nothing at all
Just reaching for her hand
[Verse 4]
The mermaids gather around
In the blood of New York Island
It's only a matter of time now, before
Before this land and your land, before
Before this land is my land, before
Before this land is her land, you know
That she's gonna gather a song
Give me guilt with nowhere to call
Just reaching for her hand
