Do you remember what you said?
How you hated me and wished I was dead
That you hoped I'd drive off the road
Then I'd hit a tree, and my car would explode?
Well, I thought to myself
That can't be good for a daughter to say
And I thought to myself
I should do this another way
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
After all the lies
After all the beer
Maybe he can change
Maybe he's sincere
Maybe
This time
Do you remember what you said?
How I reminded you of that story you read
And at first, I felt kind of thrilled
'Til you explained who Medea had killed?
Well, I thought to myself
That can't be good for a daughter to say
And I thought to myself
I should do this another way
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
After all the hurt
Maybe there's a twist
Maybe she won't be a narcissist
I want to believe them
I want to believe
This time
I will believe
♪
This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
I put aside the doubt
This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
Maybe things work out
♪
This time
Oh, this time
This time
The dead ends will end
This time (this time)
Oh, this time (this time)
Oh, this time
I think I found a friend
It's Friday night in Bergen County
There are parties everywhere
And we finally got invited!
This time
(Oh) this time
(Oh) this time
A better life begins
It's Friday night in Bergen County (this time)
There are parties everywhere (this time)
This time
Everybody wins
This time, we won't implode
This time (we hit the road)
This time (we'll stay on track)
This time (my voice won't crack)
This time (we take the prize)
This time (nobody dies)
Not like the other time
This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
No one breaks your heart
This time (this time)
Oh, this time (this time, this time)
Oh, this time
Nothing falls apart
Make a wish
I will believe
This time
