Vanessa Carlton - This Time Lyrics

Send "This Time" ringtones to your cell

It's 4 A.M, and I'm wide awake 
Waiting for my thoughts to fade 
And a flickering of all of my mistakes 

And as the light starts creeping in 
I slowly feel the day I'm missing 
But I wouldn't even know where to begin 

I knew I'd push too hard, or fall too fast 
The moment never seems to last 
And will I stop for long enough to know 
That everybody burns 
And when it starts to hurt 
I cry 
I feel it in my veins 
I just can't walk away 
This time 

Your words circle in my head 
And weigh so heavy on my chest 
And I'm crushed by your expectation 

I only wanna do some good 
Too dumb to know if I could 
And I just wanna feel the day's I'm in 

I knew I'd push too hard, not hard enough 
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut 
And do we lead the life that we should? 
Cause everybody burns 
And when it starts to hurt 
I cry 
I feel it in my veins 
I just can't walk away 
This time 

And did I say too much again 
I'm just a girl in a panic 
And if I tell you my truth, what am I getting through? 
And it just seems I should confess 
And who am I to pretend? 
And this is more than I can carry 

Cause everybody burns 
And when it starts to hurt 
I cry 
I feel it in my veins 
I just cant walk away 
This time 

I hold my head up high 
I know I'll be alright this time 
ah, ah, ah 
ah, ah, ah 
Its 4 AM and I'm wide awake 
Waiting for my thoughts to fade 
And its times like these I see your face
