This Time Around Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, all running by so fast

[Pre-Chorus]
But now, what I'm doing
I don't know what I'm doing

[Chorus]
'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
'Til I start going numb, thinking
Thought you'd make me feel it
Thought that I'd be different this time around
This time around

[Verse 2]
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"
[Pre-Chorus]
But now, what I'm doing
I don't know what I'm doing

[Chorus]
'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
'Til I start going numb, thinking
Thought you'd make me feel it
Thought that I'd be different this time around
This time around

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Ooh

[Chorus]
'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
'Til I start going numb, thinking
Thought you'd make me feel it
Thought that I'd be different this time around
This time around
[Post-Chorus]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
