This Time Around

Baby it’s been a lonely fall
And I’ve tried hard to forget it all.
I shouldn’t be so moved by you,
Surely by now you do know the truth.
But if you said the words out loud, I would come join you babe
This time around.
So say it once, the stakes are high and I won’t let
You down this time around.
I know you can’t control
Where you are goin in this endless storm
But I’m goin crazy wonderin' if we just might beat
Our fated defeat.
But if you said the words out loud, I would come join you babe
This time around,
So say it once, the stakes are high and I won’t let
You down this time around.
I have hoped, even prayed, you’ll be safe so far away.
Even though I hit the brakes, will you forgive me when I say
That I won’t let you down this time around.
