"This Time" lyrics

This Time

There's an old hardwood tree
Staring through the glass at me
It's been there since eighty-five
Sometimes I think it reads my mind
I guess it's true
You can't keep it from shinning through

There's no denying that I've been hiding
From this thing that's chasing me
Yeah, I've been running, no good at shunning
All these scars from yesterday
There comes a time you gotta give it up
Spin that wheel and try your luck
Never know what you will find
It might be love this time

I knew it from that very first smile
I could taste it like a hungry child
Not at all like all the rest
You know they say that last is best
Like a rainbow on a cloudy day
Just to shout it takes my breath away

And there's no denying I've been hiding
From this thing that's chasing me
Yeah, I've been running, no good at shunning
All these scars from yesterday
There comes a time you gotta give it up
Spin that wheel and try your luck
Never know what you will find
It might be love this time

I've been hiding
From this thing that's chasing me
Yeah, I've been running, no good at shunning
All these scars from yesterday
There comes a time you gotta give it up
Spin that wheel and try your luck
Never know what you will find
It might be love this time

This time, this time
Oh, this time, this time
This time
