This Time Around - Howie Day

Every single hour in my hand
and every second word that goes to send
another day is tied behind my back
another beating heart is all I have

not this time around
not this time around
if you came around
id leave the scars today
not this time around

I never thought i'd live to see this day
I always knew the sun would burn away
I never had the strength to turn away, oh
in the end it's always how I feel

not this time around
not this time around
not this time around
not this time around
well if you came around
i'd leave the scars today
not this time around

how will i
will you find me?
how will i
been away
oh will i
will you find me?
how will I ever know?

I dont believe in beautiful mistakes
every turn of fate is on the take
another turn or second chance goes by
every wrong turn comes an eye to eye

not this time around, no
not this time around
and if you came around
I leave the skies today
not this time around

not this time around (this time around)
I leave the skies today
not this time around (this time around)
not this time around
not this time around
not this time around (I leave the skies today)
no.... yeah...
