Lyrics

This Time

I’m a lonely man in this lowly crowd
Faceless people seem to talk so loud
I could hear if they’d just leave

You made the scene. I feel their stares
Your drink’s on me. Your point was made
I can’t blame them for what they see

Now that you’ve lashed out all my hopes
And all my fears, all rest in you
Everybody seems to think it’s a joke but I’ll say to you
It’s just the truth to you. It’s one thing that I owe to you
If you ever go away I swear I’m not gonna wait this time
No, I won’t wait this time

Race from the highway, turn on your street
Winter’s silence crushed beneath my feet
Winter’s roses never smell sweet

And now that you lost out on my hope
And all my fears arrest in you
Everybody seems to think it’s a joke but I’ll say to you
It’s just the truth to you. It’s one thing that I owe to you
If you ever go away I swear I’m not gonna wait this time
No, I won’t wait this time

Now I’m at your door, and I know you’re there
Do you have the guts now to meet my stare
You can leave and I won’t care

And now that you’ve lashed out all my hope
And all my fears arrest in you
Everybody seems to think it’s a joke but I’ll say to you
It’s just the truth to you. It’s one thing that I owe to you
If you ever go away I swear I’m not gonna wait this time
No, I won’t wait this time

Look what you did to my heart.
