We keep on putting these efforts into this It appears we've chosen to impress those who believe-- Those who believe everything is just alright, But within we know we're scared to be ourselves Chorus: This time, this time, Can we get it right now? Finally make it right now We seem to fight for what we are not And then pa** it through a lie Tie the leaves on trees so they Won't come down, so they won't come down This time, this time, Can we get it right? They told us now, it wouldn't be too long But it's not too much to fight for this song We told ourselves everything would be okay But now it just seems so cliche Chorus: This time, this time, Can we get it right now? Finally make it right now We seem to fight for what we are not And then pa** it through a lie Tie the leaves on trees so they Won't come down, so they won't come down! This time, this time, Can we get it right? The motion's measuring With every breath And I'm exhausted And alone It's piercing hope It's piercing hope So pick me up 'Cuz there's still hope There's still hope Chorus: This time, this time, Can we get it right now? Finally make it right now We seem to fight for what we are not And then pa** it through a lie Tie the leaves on trees so they Won't come down, so they won't come down This time, this time, Can we get it right? This time, this time, Can we get it right?
