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.)
