This Time
E.D.P.S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this where we need to be?
Or are we tired of looking?
Searching, for more than eyes can see
For something to believe in
Slipped away, fell away, tried to play yourself
No turning back, all alone
And there's nobody else
Who even knows I'm missing

I and I won't run this time
It's worth more than the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
Wanting more has got me waiting
This time for love

And nothing ever changes
Waiting, gets harder every time
I don't know how to stay still
And nothing more left to lose
Throw it all away
May be the last chance I get to see your face
I can't afford to leave here

I and I won't run this time
It's worth more than the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
Wanting more has got me waiting
This time for love

I and I won't run this time
I can't believe the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
I need to know so I'll be waiting
This time for love

I and I won't run this time
It's worth more than the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time
Wanting more has got me waiting
This time for love

I and I won't run this time
I can't believe the chance we're taking
I and I won't run this time




I and I won't run this time
This time from love

Is this where we need to be?
Are we in the right place or situation?

Are we exhausted from searching for something more?


Searching, for more than eyes can see
Looking for something beyond the surface


For something to believe in
For a cause or purpose to commit to


Slipped away, fell away, tried to play yourself
Tried and failed to escape a situation you put yourself in


No turning back, all alone
Cannot go back and must face the consequences alone


And there's nobody else
No one else to turn to for help or guidance


Who even knows I'm missing
No one is aware of your absence
