This Time
lo-fi calvinists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to take your breath away
I used to make your laugh about anything
I used to be your getaway
Your getaway, your dream
I was every thing you needed
You used to lean your eyes on me
You used to open up and share your world
You used to lose yourself in me
Let the hours pass, oh, running by so fast

But now, what I'm doing
Don't know, what I'm doing

'Cause I don't even feel it
Bodies growing colder with the distance now
And I don't even mean it
Got my hands all over you, but not a sound
I'm always so in love, all in
Till you lost your goal, and I'm thinking
Thought you'd make me feel it
Thought that I'd be different this time around
This time around

We started out as lonely hearts
We started with a promise built on highs
You said I was the missing part
Looked into my eyes said
"You're my fix for life"

But now, what I'm doing
I don't know, what I'm doing

Cause I don't even feel it
Bodies growing colder with the distance now
And I don't even mean it
Got my hands all over you, but not a sound
I'm always so in love, all in
Till you lost your goal, and I'm thinking
Thought you'd make me feel it
Thought that I'd be different this time around
This time around

Don't know what I'm doing
This time around
This time around
Don't know what I'm doing
This time around
This time around
Ooh

'Cause I don't even feel it
Bodies growing colder with the distance now
And I don't even mean it
Got my hands all over you, but not a sound
Oh, I'm always so in love, all in
Till you lost your goal, and I'm thinking
Thought you'd make me feel it
Thought that I'd be different this time around
This time around

Don't know what I'm doing
This time around
This time around
Don't know what I'm doing




This time around
This time around

Peeps live free die free
And above all keep your mind safe
From fear and being scared
To live and die
Its beautiful mental mindscape
Use your illusion peeps and get over fear
Yes I can cause I've recieved grace
God does give it freely
So just ask with feeling emotional energy of pure intention from your heart space ,

Let's take a moment to appreciate that this amazing gentleman died 1973 but his voice is still more relevant than ever. And it reaches out to us across time and space. Simply amazing 🙏

Akira should do music on Arthur holmes, the history of philosophy

John Grady

Truth is relevant at all times, that is why the great stories persist. The wonders of technology to ressurect the past are indeed amazing.
