This Time Around Lyrics

I thought that freedom lay over the sea

I wrote a story that no one will read

Stayed up and cried at the thought of release

I thought away was the best way to be

But this time around

With bated breath

I yearned

I yearned

For days and days

I feared the worst

But I learned

I learned

I saw castles and mountains

But all that I wanted was you

(And all that I wanted was you)

Saw the cities

The cliffsides

But I'd give it all up just to know that you'd see me through

(And know that you'll see me through)

If you were on fire the world would burn down

If you were the water I'd happily drown

If there were a way up I'd push my way down

Wherever you leave I will seek my way out

But this time around

With steady breath

I know

I know

In tumbling tides

My doubts are drowned below

Below

I've heard fireworks and folk songs

And all that I hear is your voice

I've heard echoes of footsteps

And I dream that you've come to take me home

Home

I can wait now

I'll have to

It's you I'm waiting for
