Vanessa Carlton Lyrics

8. This Time

It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake 
Waiting for my thoughts to fade 
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 

Do I push to hard?
Or fall to fast? 
The moment never seems to last 
Will I stop long enough to know

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 
Weigh so heavy on my chest 
And I'm crushed by your expectation 
I only want to do some good 
Too dumb to know if I could 
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in 

Do I go to far,
Not far enough? 
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut? 
And do we lead the life that we should? 

Everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt,
I cry 
I feel it in my veins 
I just can't walk away,
This time 

Did I say to much again? 
I'm just a girl in a panic
If I tell you my truth
Am I getting through? 
It just seems I should confess 
Who am I to pretend 
This is more than I can carry 

Everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt,
I cry 
I hold my head up high 
I know I'll be alright
This time 
I feel it in my veins 
I just can't walk away
This time 
This time,
This time 
This time,
This time 

It's 4 am and I'm wide awake 
Waiting for my thoughts to fade 
It's times like these I see your face
