This Time

I really like this song. I first heard it from the movie, August Rush.

It didn't really catch my attention when I first heard it, but after hearing it a couple more times, it caught up with me. And the song , at least for me, is very raw and sincere. It was actually sung by the actor himself, Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

People might have different opinions on how they interpret the song, but for me, this is all about second chance. A man looking to recover from his past mistakes, trying to attempt that leap of faith once more, asking the question: "would things be different this time around?"

This Time

Tonight the sky above
Reminds me of you, love
Walking through wintertime
Where the stars all shine
The angel on the stairs
Will tell you I was there
Under the front porch light
On a mystery night

I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back ? Could I get you off my mind
This time

The neon lights in bars
And headlights from the cars
Have started a symphony
Surrounding Me
The things I left behind
Have melted in my mind
And now there's a purity
Inside of me

I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back ? Could I get you off my mind
This time

I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back ? Could I get you off my mind
This time
