We keep on putting these efforts into this   It appears we've chosen to impress those who believe--   Those who believe everything is just alright,   But within we know we're scared to be ourselves      Chorus:      This time, this time,   Can we get it right now?   Finally make it right now   We seem to fight for what we are not   And then pass it through a lie   Tie the leaves on trees so they    Won't come down, so they won't come down   This time, this time,   Can we get it right?         They told us now, it wouldn't be too long   But it's not too much to fight for this song   We told ourselves everything would be okay   But now it just seems so cliche      Chorus:      This time, this time,   Can we get it right now?   Finally make it right now   We seem to fight for what we are not   And then pass it through a lie   Tie the leaves on trees so they   Won't come down, so they won't come down!   This time, this time,   Can we get it right?         The motion's measuring   With every breath   And I'm exhausted   And alone   It's piercing hope   It's piercing hope   So pick me up   'Cuz there's still hope   There's still hope      Chorus:      This time, this time,   Can we get it right now?   Finally make it right now   We seem to fight for what we are not   And then pass it through a lie   Tie the leaves on trees so they   Won't come down, so they won't come down   This time, this time,   Can we get it right?   This time, this time,   Can we get it right?
