Maybe next time
Face to Face Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you hear that?
It sounds like I'm losing my faith did you feel that?
It feels like I'm so far away
But if I knew what I know now

This wouldn't be so wrong
Now I'm back to where I started from
And if I was sure then I'd be right
But I guess I've lost this fight

Wait until the next time
I can feel it
It feels like my luck's going to change
I can see it

It seems like this time it's ok
And if I was sure then I'd be right
But I guess I've lost this fight
Wait until the next time

I know I was close that time




Before there's still a need for something more
Wait until the next time
