Lyrics

Not this Time Again

V1
I got a long way to drive
it's the story of my life
i got the radio up high
cause I know how to drive and cry

I'm in the perfect dress
that i thought would bring success
but i guess it's not to be
just another empty road ahead for me

Chorus
Not this time again
i missed the signs again
you're not the guy again
what was i thinking
yeah i will try and cry
and wonder why again
not this time i don't know when
not this time again

V2
I was waiting for something
handsome stranger you walked in
then they played the perfect song
It felt so right but I was wrong

I let you sweep me off my feet
let you kiss me on the street
now I'm living with the pain
and I don't think I will hear from you
again

Bridge

I keep on
hoping and meeting
falling and breaking
hurting and healing
misreading mistaking
I try not to try
but there's always a kiss
or a look in your eye
and I don't want to miss

Final Chorus

This time again
I see the signs again
could be the guy again
that's what I'm thinking
yeah I will try and cry
and wonder why
again
maybe this time
I don't know when
this time again
