this time around ill just take it as it comes
for what it is, not what it has been
this time around i won't make the same mistakes
put it aside and live for today
did it ever cross her mind, was it just a waste of time
did it ever cross her mind, as i sat back and asked why
this time around, questions and answers
but still time passes by
this time around, one thing to another
but still, still i try to try
did it ever cross her mind, did it ever really last
was it just a waste of time, or a puzzle from the past
CHORUS:
things have gone their ways, still is there room for change
to break away from the old
but is the end just a time for a new beginning
with just another fork in the road
this time around i'll just take it as it comes
for what it is, not what it has been
did it ever cross my mind during this time of question
that change would bring me in a new direction
CHORUS
