Matter of Time
Fitness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They've never seen the sunlight play across your face
Oxblood Mustang, maybe '68
Some bitch got jealous, tagged it up with black spray paint
Every time I go
I come back, I come back, don't you know
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
I wake up next to someone new
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
So high I couldn't even take a sip
Of my Code Red Mountain Dew, guess that dates us a bit
In the ivy underneath the 5
We kissed like hypocrites inside our double lives
Every time I go
I come back, I come back, don't you know
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
Every time I dream of you
I wake up next to someone new
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
Time time time time time
Time time time time
Time time time time time
Time time time time
Every time I go
I come back, I come back, don't you know
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
Every time I dream of you
I wake up next to someone new
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
Hey baby it's just a matter of time
The lyrics of the song "Matter Of Time" by Fitness depict the complexity of relationships and the struggle to let go of someone who has left an indelible mark on one's life. The opening line "They say there ain't seasons in LA, they've never seen the sunlight play across your face" compares the predictability of seasons to the unpredictable nature of relationships. The reference to LA is a nod to the city's reputation for being a place where it's hard to find true love or lasting relationships.
The second verse mentions a '68 Oxblood Mustang that was tagged up with black spray paint out of jealousy. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for how love can become tainted and damaged by the actions of others. The reference to Code Red Mountain Dew is a nostalgic nod to the time period in which the song is set.
The chorus "Every time I go, I come back, I come back, don't you know, hey baby it's just a matter of time, every time I dream of you I wake up next to someone new, hey baby it's just a matter of time" highlights the struggle of constantly returning to someone, even though the relationship has ended. The repetition of "hey baby it's just a matter of time" reinforces the idea that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they will move on eventually. The song ultimately speaks to the human tendency to hold onto something even when it's not good for us.

Love the band! It's also possibly the hardest band name to ever search. "Fitness band" - fitbit results! "Fitness Karate" - local karate dojos! "Fitness band karate" - a mix of the first two!

lol I was asking a friend if they heard of them, his first response was, "duh, of course, I know about fitness. Wait, maybe, I don't. What is it?"

Yeah it's hard to find stuff about fitness band...kinda underground still. I will always like Eve 6 and Max Collins. This is what I grew up on.
