This Time Lyrics - Heroes & Thieves - Vanessa Carlton

It's 4 A.M. and I'm wide awake 

Waiting for my thoughts to fade 

And a flickering of all of my mistakes 

And as the light starts creeping in 

I slowly feel the day I'm missing 

But I wouldn't even know where to begin 

Do I push too hard or fall too fast 

The moment never seems to last 

And will I stop for long enough to know 

'Cause everybody burns 

And when it starts to hurt 

I cry 

I feel it in my veins 

I just can't walk away 

This time

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Your words circle in my head 

And weigh so heavy on my chest 

And I'm crushed by your expectation 

I only want to do some good 

Too dumb to know if I could 

And I just wanna feel the days I'm in 

Do I go too far, not far enough 

Why can't I keep my big mouth shut? 

And do we lead the life that we should? 

And everybody burns 

And when it starts to hurt 

I cry 

I feel it in my veins 

I just can't walk away 

This time 

Photos 

And did I say too much again 

I'm just a girl in a panic 

And if I tell you my truth 

Am I getting through? 

It just seems I should confess 

And who am I to pretend? 

This is more than I can carry 

And everybody burns 

And when it starts to hurt 

I cry 

I hold my head up high 

I know I'll be alright 

This time 

I feel it in my veins 

I just can't walk away 

This time 

Ah ah ah (This time) 

Ah ah ah (This time) 

Ah ah ah (This time) 

Ah ah ah (This time) 

It's 4 A.M. and I'm wide awake 

Waiting for my thoughts to fade 

And it's times like these I see your face
