This Time
Christopher Jak Lyrics

Oh no, I think I'm falling in love again
Expressing surprise and apprehension at the singer's feelings of falling in love once more.

It's nothing new
Acknowledging that falling in love is a familiar experience.

It's just that this time, its with you
Specifically naming the person the singer has fallen in love with.

I stand amazed that a beauty like yours
Expressing awe and disbelief at the addressee's physical attractiveness.

Could exist in a world like this
Reflecting on the harsh realities of the world and questioning how someone so beautiful could exist within it.

And that you would see me
Expressing surprise and gratitude that the addressee has noticed the singer.

And my name would fall from your lips
Expressing further gratitude that the addressee has spoken the singer's name.

I wanna cry like the child that I am
Expressing emotional vulnerability and a desire to cry out of happiness.

To think I may never hear it again
Wondering if the addressee will ever say the artist's name again, and feeling sorrow at that thought.

Is this the wrong time for the right thing
Questioning whether this moment is not the ideal time for the artist's feelings to have arisen, but also considering if the love is the right thing for the artist.

Is it anything at all?
Asking if this love has any significance or if it will just fade away.

I'm helpless like a teardrop who just does not wanna fall
Comparing the artist's emotional state to a tear that refuses to fall, expressing a sense of stagnation caused by confusion and apprehension.

I will dry up into a puddle of salt
Expressing a sense of painful vulnerability that could lead to intense emotional suffering.

And I'll sting as I lick my own wounds
Describing the pain that will be felt as the singer tries to cope with their emotions alone.

I wake each morning with my body on fire
Describing how the singer wakes up feeling consumed by their love for the addressee.

Cooled only by the touch of your hands
Suggesting that the addressee's touch is the only thing that can calm the artist's passionate desires.

Each day that's to follow
Looking towards the future, and acknowledging that the artist's love for the addressee will continue beyond the present moment.

And each night that is to come
Expressing the knowledge that the singer's love will continue even when the day is over.

I am breathing just to feel them again
Describing the importance of the addressee's touch, indicating that the singer's love for the addressee is inextricably linked to physical sensations.

Have you understood what I am trying to explain?
Expressing the artist's doubt about whether the addressee really understands the depth of the artist's love for them.

Its this delicately torturing pleasant little pain
Describing the complex mix of emotions that the artist is feeling, both positive and negative.

I wonder now do you think of me in this same kind of way
Questioning whether the addressee has similar feelings for the artist, wondering if there is a mutual love present.

Do you think of me at all?
Acknowledging the possibility that the addressee might not think of the singer at all.
