This Time

You know it's time to get my head out of water

I won't be bent by the thoughts in my head

Well, I know I'll always see myself in my father

Holding myself to the ways that I thought I'd be

Don't you think what you need is some needle put to thread

Don't you trust that I know that it's easy to believe in what you said

(This time) It moves on without me

(This time) It's never given what I wanted at all

(This time) But now it's trying to teach me

(This time) But I'm not learning this time

You know I think about when we were younger

Hopping fences with no consequences

Your words written in letter that I read

Hearing your voice saying all the things you know I need

Don't you think what you need is some needle put to thread

Don't you trust that I know that it's easy to believe in what you said

(This time) It moves on without me

(This time) It's never given what I wanted at all

(This time) But now it's trying to teach me

(This time) But I'm not learning this time

You know it's time to get my head out of water

I won't be bent by the thoughts in my head

Well, I know I'll always see myself in my father

Holding myself to the ways that I thought I'd be

Don't you think what you need is some needle put to thread

Don't you trust that I know that it's easy to believe in what you said

(This time) It moves on without me

(This time) It's never given what I wanted at all

(This time) But now it's trying to teach me

(This time) But I'm not learning this time
