This Time Around Lyrics

It's getting colder in this ditch where I lie
I'm feeling older and I'm wondering why
I heard they told her it was tell and live or die
I didn't know her, but I know why she lied
I didn't know her, but I know why she died

[Chorus]
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way This Time Around
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around

And we won't go down

I heard them say that dreams should stay in your head
Well, I feel ashamed of the things that I've said
Put on these chains and you can live a free life
Well, I'd rather bleed just to know why I die

[Chorus]

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
All I know is that fear has got to go
This time around

I've started feeling like I don't want to fight
Give in to the given and put out the light
Cannons a-blazin' shower these moonlit skies
Then I remember and I know why he died
Do you know why I die?

[Chorus: x2]

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down

This Time Around

Zac Hanson told us: "It's about fighting back, 'You can't say I didn't give it, I won't wait another minute, on our way this time around.' The story line in the song, we almost pictured it as someone in the middle of a conflict, maybe a war, and the honor of giving one's self out to say, 'I'm going to go for it all no matter what the consequences are because of what really matters. I'm not going to live a free life with chains on, I'm not going to give away my friends.' It's about that ultimate sticking it to the man."

This was Hanson's second studio album released on a major label. It came out three years after Middle Of Nowhere, which contained the massive hit "MMMBop."

Zac: "If anything, it's a statement to every artist and every musician out there just to say, 'Go for it, mean something and do something great.' Whatever that entails, that's what you should focus on." (Check out our interview with Zac Hanson.)

Underneath Lyrics

Waking up this morning
Thinking this can't be real
They say there is nothing love can't heal
Why don't you come on down
So you can feel what I feel?

Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
But there's something wrong

Can't you see
That I'm stuck here Underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath

I know what to say
But don't know where to begin
I fear I'm losing you beneath my skin
Is there resolution for this pain that I'm in?

Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
But there's something wrong

Can't you see
That I'm stuck here underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath
'Cause you'll find me, whoa, underneath

If only you could feel what I dream
Maybe you could hear what I mean
There is nothing gone

But there's something missing
Can't you see
That I'm stuck here underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see

You'll find me underneath
You'll find me underneath
Underneath, underneath

Underneath

The band wrote this with Matthew Sweet, a critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter who had a Modern Rock hit in 1991 with "Girlfriend." They met through a mutual friend when Hanson was working on the album, so they got together and wrote this in about 4 hours. Zac Hanson, the band's drummer, told us: "Songs can take sometimes years, songs can come together in a couple of moments. The fluidity of how that song came together with Matthew and how natural it felt to write it with him was pretty cool."

Zac Hanson: "Matthew came in with a chord pattern and then everybody sort of built off of that, focusing on an idea or a word or a melody part and then you sort of build out from there. It is an intense song, it's a song that I think everyone can relate to - 'Sitting all alone in this place, even though we're here face to face,' just talking about that ultimate disconnect, where you're right here, but you're not right here, and I think everyone's felt that in some form or another or will feel that in their life. It was just a meaningful song, and really a pillar for the whole album. After that song was written, just the way that song was, the way we recorded it and the sounds we used, it was a cornerstone for the whole record. That was part of the reason we called the album Underneath, in addition to the blatant meaning of a step deeper into who we are." (Check out our interview with Zac Hanson.)
