Matter Of Course

[Verse 1]
Way down the line, when we're
Way down the lane
Maybe a sign, baby
You’ve got to have faith
There'll be a future and then
There'll be a way, so we
Have a past behind us

[Chorus]
Maybe one day, you’ll have me, and
I'll have everything that I'll ever need
Let's play to lose
Let's not place our bets on a foregone conclusion
And if we end up as we start
It was a matter of course, baby
A matter of course, baby
Hey hey, hey hey

[Verse 2]
If you've forgotten that one time
You didn't believe in fate
If you're reminded that one time
You took it at face value
Even in the dark of night when
You sweat in our bed and you
Turn over for hope
And you rest your head

[Chorus]
And I will say
You’ll have me, and
I’ll have everything that I'll ever need
Let’s play to lose
Let's not place our bets on a foregone conclusion
And if we end up as we start
It was a matter of course, baby
A matter of course
Hey hey, hey hey, baby

[Verse 3]
I took a photo of you and
You one of me, but we
Never took a photo together
In case we broke free, just some
Painful reminders of times that
Should have gone on forever
We'd die in each others arms
And we'd always remember

[Chorus]
That all through those days
You’d have me
And I'd have everything that I'd ever need
Let's play to lose
Let's not place our bets on a foregone conclusion
And if we end up as we start
It was a matter of course, baby
It was a matter of course
Hey hey, hey hey

[Bridge]
Sometimes it takes love, darling
Sometimes it takes hope
Sometimes it's not meant to be, and
It's hard to get closer
You try it with faith, then you
Give it your best shot
But if the love's not there to give enough

[Chorus]
Like it or not
You'll lose everything
That you thought that you'd ever need
When all is said and done
Time will just flow through
You'll recall the best love you could never get close to

[Outro]
Matter of course
It was a matter of course
Baby
It was a matter of course
Oh, yeah
Oh, no
It was a matter
It was a matter of course
Baby
