This Time Lyrics

Ran into you yesterday
Memories rushed through my brain
It's starting to hit me: now you're not with me
I realize I made a mistake
I thought that I needed some space
I just let love go to waste
It's so crystal clear now that I need you here now
I gotta get you back today

This time I want it all
This time I want it all
Showing you all the cards
Giving you all my heart

This time I'll take the chance
This time I'll be a man
I can be all you need
This time it's all of me

I hit the bar every night looking to score a good time
It's not like I planned it, I'm left empty-handed
'Cause I'm still alone in my mind
Now what will it take to feel right?
Can I come see you tonight?
Is there someone new now?
What can I do now?
'Cause I need you back by my side


This time I want it all
This time I want it all
Showing you all the cards
Giving you all my heart

This time I'll take the chance
This time I'll be a man
I can be all you need
This time it's all of me

Last time I wasn't sure
This time I will give you more
I'm more than sure, I'll show you

Last time I didn't know
I messed up when I let you go
I need you, don't say no...

Lying alone in this room
All that is missing is you
Pick up the phone, won't you come home?


This time I want it all
This time I want it all
I'm showing you all the cards
Giving you all my heart

This time I'll take the chance
This time I'll be your man
I can be all you need
This time it's all of me

All of me...

i completely agree with you, mzcreates, everything you said. you pinpointed my exact thoughts. this song connects with every emotion i feel, if only it worked this way.. that this time if you were to give your all.. it would fix things. this song has lyrics powerful enough to bring tears to your eyes. it's a man, pouring out his soul. i love this song, and i wish.. so much.. that my all was good enough.

john did a great job. another hit.

this song is completely amazing. emotional, but amazing. word for word, line by line. it is a cry out to someone who he's let go in the past, whether it be weeks, months or years ago and it finally clicked in his heart and mind. he finally realized what he's done, what he's missing and wants to make it right the second time around with that former significant other. this song melts my heart.

I think that if you listen and then listen to Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri, it's like two sides of one story :)
