Do you remember what you said?

How you hated me and wished I was dead?

That you hoped I’d drive off the road, then I’d hit a tree

And my car would explode?

Well I thought to myself, that can’t be good for a daughter to say

And I thought to myself, I should do this another way

Maybe this time

Maybe this time

After all the lies, after all the beer

Maybe he can change, maybe he’s sincere

Maybe this time

Do you remember what you said?

How I reminded you of that story you read?

And at first I felt kinda thrilled

Till you explained who Medea had killed

Well I thought to myself, that can’t be good for a daughter to say

And I thought to myself, I should do this another way

Maybe this time

Maybe this time

After all the hurt, maybe there’s a twist

Maybe she won’t be a narcissist

I want to believe them

I want to believe

This time, I will believe

This time

Oh, this time

Oh, this time

I put aside the doubt

This time

Oh, this time

Oh, this time

Maybe things work out

This time

Oh, this time

This time

The dead ends will end

This time

This time

Oh, this time

This time

Oh, this time

I think I found a friend

It’s Friday night in Bergen County

There are parties everywhere

And we finally got invited

This time

Oh, this time

Oh, this time

A better life begins

It’s Friday night in Bergen County

This time

There are parties everywhere

This time

This time

Everybody wins, this time

We won’t implode

This time, we hit the road

This time, we'll stay on track

This time, my voice won’t crack

This time, we take the prize

This time, nobody dies

Not like the other time

This time

Oh, this time

Oh, this time

No one breaks your heart

This time

This time

Oh, this time

This time, this time

Oh, this time

Nothing falls apart

Make a wish

I will believe

This time
