Ingrid Snook - This Time Lyrics

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
