This Time Around

Flying down a partly spiral stairway
I wipe the hair back from my face
And I take one last look past my right shoulder
And I say goodbye to this place
I walk through the door and I will close it one last time
Got that look, not a smile not quite a frown
And if pain were my family then I guess I’m homeward bound
But I’m fine This Time Around
Yes I’m fine This Time Around

I drive down the highway in a slow lane car
But I’m passing people left and right
And I can picture your face inside the sun’s orange glow
As I watch the day turn into night
And it’s not the fact it was the wrong place and wrong time
Or that I lost the love we once had found
It’s that I knew from the start of this it never would work out
But I’m fine This Time Around
Yes I’m fine This Time Around

And I don’t know why I’ve these delusions in my mind
Of fairytales built once upon a time
And I can’t figure out what all this misery’s about
But I’ll be fine
This time

Going down going down
Going down without a sound
As I watch my dreams all shatter to the ground
Going down going down
Silence never seemed so loud
Going down down down
Going down down down

But I’m fine
This time
Said I’ll be fine
This time
Yes I’ll be fine
This time
around
