This Time

This time

Addison

Seems like this year the winter came early

Sunny on Sunday and Monday the snow starts to fly

The world's on the mend

This time last year you were almost despairing

Trying to make sense of a world beyond caring

And I fell in love with you then

This time you won't have to walk away

Won't have to run away

No one will drive you away baby this time

December is always a hard month to handle

When you live by the light of a flickering candle

And there's nothing but winter ahead

The season has always so much to remind you

Of all the promises broken behind you

But try to look to the future instead

This time you won't have to walk away

Won't have to run away

No one will drive you away baby this time

This time you won't have to search for a reason

Or try to explain to your father why it didn't work out

This time

This time there won't be weeks where you wonder

How can I sleep in the same bed

Or the best friends who talk of the pressure you're under

But won't meet your eye when you see them

You never forget the sensation of falling

You strain for a sound but no one is calling you near

And you're suddenly free

This winter won't be as hard as the last one

The weather man says we're in for a fast one this year

And you're here with me

And I want you to be

This time you won't have to walk away

Won't have to run away

No one will drive you away baby this time

This time you won't have to search for a reason

Or try to explain to your father why it didn't work out

This time
