This Time

They tell me don't you worry about the final outcome But I am more concerned with my spending habits and my income They point to the faces and say rate your pain I nod, water in my eyes I'm okay I'm okay I've never seen the ocean but I'm getting closer Don't know how south I'll go till it's all over They tell me I'm still young but it don't feel that way Cause I've played a million rounds and I always lose this game Knock me down One more time to the ground Don't let her get too comfortable, don't let her head touch the clouds Go on and hold me back Till I seep through the cracks Just enough to see the light, that is when it all goes black I tell everyone I love the rain but I know the truth I sit around waiting for the clouds to open to tease a little blue Try and ignore the skyline and my future covered in gray I close my eyes and say a prayer cause I know what's coming my way Knock me down One more time to the ground Don't let her get too comfortable, don't let her head touch the clouds Go on and hold me back Till I seep through the cracks Just enough to see the light, that is when it all goes black I can't deny I've been running for my life And I trip just before I get it right, I don't think I can stand back up this time This time Knock me down One more time to the ground Don't let her get too comfortable, don't let her head touch the clouds Go on and hold me back Till I seep through the cracks Just enough to see the light, that is when it all goes black I can't deny I've been running for my life And I trip just before I get it right, I don't think I can stand back up this time
