Jes Perry: Music
This Time
Verse 1
And I kneel on bended knees, prostrate on the floor in front of you this time. And I beg and plead for your deference, hands neatly folded this time. I hate looking up at your face, want you to see me here in front of you this time. As I reach for your body to cushion my fall but you back away again this time. But I forgive you like always.
Chorus
'Cause if it only happens once, might as well never have happened at all. If you only live life once, why bother living at all.
Verse 2
And I say that you're the rain, that I want and need to make my garden grow this time. And I subjugate and stuff love down deep to worship at the cult of you I've created this time. But I forgive you like always.
Chorus
'Cause if it only happens once, might as well never have happened at all. If you only live life once, why bother living at all, why bother living at all.
Bridge
And I'll spoil your wishes with my self-complaints. I'll rain hail on your parade. I'll browbeat and hammer your head on the concrete sidewalk just to hear your screams of pain. Screams of pain.
Verse 3
And I say that you're the rain, that I want and need to make my garden grow this time. And I can't fall asleep at night, can't decide between life's weight and lightness this time. But I forgive you.
Chorus
'Cause if it only happens once might as well never have happened at all. If you only live life once, why bother living at all, why bother living at all, why bother living at all... Living at all... Living at all
