This Time Songtext
von The Slingers

I guess this is where we part
Don′t move, don't cry, don′t speak, don't start
Just give me one more teaspoon smile
I'll have to make that last for a while
The empty bed and the torn receipts
Black autumn leaves in a dead end street
All that was burning in me then
May never burn in me again

You may not reclaim my love
You had it once, ain′t that enough?
I know you′re tired of the same old lies
Oh, the only difference is

I really mean it
I really mean it this time


So when I pass you on the street
Is there some protocol to meet?
Like should I wave or must I bow?
Or be your mirror now?

Your hair pulled back in silver ties
Purple pools beneath your eyes
Blue-black tidal on the beach
Days long just beyond your reach
I know you're tired of the same goodbyes
Oh, the only difference is

I really mean it
I′m really leaving this time

I can't tell you how to feel
So do me one last dirty deal
Forget my eyes, forget my name
Forget it all, man, it′s all the same
Forget the same seed in my brain
That read like scripture in my veins
If your ruby don't roll in the rain
Strike another match and burn


I don′t need you to tell me what to do
I can live with the shame quite like you
