This Time
Jonathan Rhys Meyers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight the sky above
Reminds me how to love
Walking through wintertime, the stars all shine
The angel on the stairs
Will tell you I was there
Under the front porch light
On the mystery night
I've been sitting, watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back?
Could I get you off my mind
This time?

The neon lights and bars
And headlights from the cars
Started a symphony surrounding me
The things I left behind
Have melted in my mind
And now there's a purity inside of me

I've been sitting, watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back?
Could I get you off my mind
This time?

I've been sitting, watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back?




Could I get you off my mind
This time?

Line by Line Meaning

Tonight the sky above
The beauty of the night sky reminds me of the love that I've been missing


Reminds me how to love
The stars light up my life and show me how I should be loving


Walking through wintertime, the stars all shine
Even in the darkest of times, the stars shine and remind me that there is still beauty in the world


The angel on the stairs
The presence of someone watching over me gives me hope


Will tell you I was there
If you ask, the angel will confirm that I was there in that moment


Under the front porch light
In the warmth of the light, I found peace and contentment


On the mystery night
On this special night, anything could happen and I was open to anything


I've been sitting, watching life pass from the sidelines
I've been a passive observer of my own life


Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I've been longing for something to wake me up from my slumber and inspire me


I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
I entertained the possibility of abandoning everything and embarking on a new adventure


Would the wind be at my back?
Would I have good luck on my side if I took a risk?


Could I get you off my mind
Could I finally move on from the person who has been weighing me down?


The neon lights and bars
The distractions and temptations of city life


And headlights from the cars
The constant movement and rush of life


Started a symphony surrounding me
The chaos of the city created a symphony that engulfed me


The things I left behind
The past is now behind me and I am looking forward


Have melted in my mind
The memories of my past have faded away


And now there's a purity inside of me
I feel pure and free now that I am unburdened by my past


I've been sitting, watching life pass from the sidelines
I've been a passive observer of my own life


Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I've been longing for something to wake me up from my slumber and inspire me


I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
I entertained the possibility of abandoning everything and embarking on a new adventure


Would the wind be at my back?
Would I have good luck on my side if I took a risk?


Could I get you off my mind
Could I finally move on from the person who has been weighing me down?


This time?
Is now the right time for me to make a change?

Tonight the sky above
Reminds me how to love
Walking through wintertime
Where the stars all shine
The angel on the stairs
Will tell you I was there
Under the front porch light
On a mystery night
I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back? Could I get you off my mind
This time

The neon lights in bars
And headlights from the cars
Have started a symphony
Surrounding me
The things I left behind
Have melted in my mind
And now there's a purity
Inside of me
I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back? Could I get you off my mind
This time
I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back? Could I get you off my mind
This time
