This Time

I've been here once before
The feelings are familiar but the faces have changed
And the last time I swore
I'd never put my self out on the line that way

Another man would walk away
Another man would say he's had enough
But I'm ready to go again
Cause she's been through it just like me
And she can tell that this time it's for real
This time there'll be no mistake
This time if the world falls in around us
We'll be strong enough to put it all back again

She used to be so sure
She'd never take a chance with anyone again
She had it all worked out
And then just like me she found herself alive again
Another girl would be afraid
Another girl would turn and run away
But she's ready to go again
Cause she's been through it just like me
And she can tell that this time it's for real
