This Time Lyrics

Are you busy

Could I bend your ear a while

There are things I'm mulling over

And I cannot quite tell why

I can taste her on my lips

I can smell her on my clothes

And I'm scared she might be

Everything I wanted

I was drinking on a heartache

And it was cold and it was strong

And I wasn't really looking

For someone to come along

But she was talking to my friend

At a bar across town

And I wondered if I

Even had the courage

Sometimes

We don't get to choose

Something else is

Moving in the distance

Hold tight

Just keep listening and speaking

Your heart can do the thinking

This time

A couple days had passed

I saw her calling on my phone

And I agreed to meet her

On some downtown patio

And I saw her eyes light up

As the sun was going down

And everything looked blue

In the distance

Sometimes

We don't get to choose

Something else is

Moving in the distance

Hold tight

Just keep listening and speaking

Your heart can do the thinking

This time
