This Time We Mean It

Well just a week to go
And I'm ready for change
I'm not getting old
I'm just turning strange
Why don't you tell me woman
How am I supposed to feel?
Should I skip to the chase?
Or roll with the punches
Or patch myself up and heal

This time we mean it
We got to mean all the words we say
And we'll start to feel it
And not let our thoughts betray
I can tell you everything that you want me to
I can string together these words
But if we want to wake up on the brighter side
We've got to mean it

When I say I won't
You're so sure I will
I'm not losing hope
I'm just being real
I could take your hand now
And we could turn away
We could head down the road
To happily never after
And leave the past here to blaze

This time we mean it
We got to mean all the words we say
And we'll start to feel it
And not let our thoughts betray
I can tell you everything that you want me to
I can string together these words
But if we want to wake up on the brighter side
We've got to mean it

Well dawn ain't broken
And I'm here awake
It's a tired slogan
But we've got to give to take
I hope you're sleeping soundly
I hope you're dreaming fine
It's a brand new day
I still feel the same
And a week is a lot of time…
