This Time
Jarryd James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last time we were in it, in it.
Translating our feelings with it.
Now we′re right back in it, it.
All I, all I can say is,
Hold me back, tell me something.
Something that will bring me closer to you.
Had enough, fall back in
Follow for the things that brought me.
Love right love right love can't make it now,
Can we can we can′t save it now.
Our love our love won't make it now.
No one really wins this time,
No one really wins this time around,
No one really wins this time, nobody.
Last time we were in it, in it.
We had, we had nothing in between us
Now we're right down in it, in it.
Million different reasons you should hold me,
Hold me back, tell me something.
Something that will bring me closer to you.
Had enough, fall back in,
Follow for the things that brought me.
Love right love right love can′t make it now,
Can we can we can′t save it now.
Our love our love won't make it now.
No one really wins this time.
No one really wins this time around.
No one really wins this time, nobody.
Love right love right love can′t make it now.
Can we, can we cant save it now.
Our love our love won't make it now,
No one really wins this time.
No one really wins this time around.
No one really wins this time, nobody.
No one really wins this time.
No one really wins this time around.
No one really wins this time, nobody.

Overall Meaning

"Last time we were in it, in it. Translating our feelings with it. Now we're right back in it, it. All I, all I can say is, Hold me back, tell me something. Something that will bring me closer to you. Had enough, fall back in Follow for the things that brought me."


These lyrics seem to be about a relationship that has gone through ups and downs. In the past, they were "in it," deeply invested and emotionally connected, but now they find themselves back in a similar situation. The singer wants to be told something that will help them connect with their partner on a deeper level. They have had enough of the difficulties in their relationship and are willing to fall back in love again, following the things that brought them together in the first place.


"Love right love right love can't make it now, Can we can we can't save it now. Our love our love won't make it now. No one really wins this time, No one really wins this time around, No one really wins this time, nobody."


These lines suggest that despite their efforts, their love may not be enough to save their relationship this time around. The idea that "no one really wins this time" implies that both parties will be hurt by the eventual end of the relationship. The use of the word "nobody" at the end of the chorus creates a sense of isolation and finality, indicating that their love is over and there is no going back.


Overall, the lyrics of "This Time" seem to be about the struggles of a relationship that has gone through difficult times and is facing an uncertain future.
