This Time Around - Ruthie Henshall

When I slept in this bed

The future seemed so far ahead

I had only one choice to make

When I believed in love

My Mom would say …

Things were as they should be

When Charlie was my true destiny

Everyone was wearing a smile

When were drunk with dreams

We used to talk about forever

I believed in the fairytale

I remember the boy who climbed in my window

In the moments between kisses I would tremble inside

The last time I was here my feelings led me everywhere

He kissed away my fears

I was caught up in the way he said my name

If I knew then what I know now

Would I wind up the same anyhow?

How many times I have I wondered that?

Well now, guess what?

I’ll know

Time changes hearts I know it does

I’m not afraid to make my life my own

I’ll find out who I am and who I was

I’ll take this chance I’ve found

I was blind, but not this time

Undefined, but not this time

Now when I think about tomorrow

I can feel possibilities

I can try any crazy scheme that excites me

In these moments between lifetimes I can fantasise

Oh yes

This time while I’m here

I can look ahead to everything

I know what’s gonna be

And I’m not afraid of anything

I’m young again once more

And youth will not be wasted here on me

I was blind, but not this time

I’ll define my life this time

The choice is mine to get it right this time

I believe what I feel

What my soul needs to heal
