Break This Time Lyrics

Alejandro Escovedo Break This Time

If you could see you
The way that I see you
The way I perceive you
No, I never came to deceive you

Or sit high above you
Or lock doors behind you
But only to love you
Right inside the refrain

But I just might break this time

Mothers and fathers
They don't have all the answers
Can't see past the chain link
They're laid on the line

So break another picture
Or better yet, sit there
Inside the stillness
Oh, this time

But I just might break this time
Yeah, this time

Whoever told you
There'd be no danger
Nothing to fear here
Yeah, in this house of pain

So speak to me softly
Yeah, and tell me you love me
And we'll join together
Oh, inside the refrain

But I just might break this time
Yeah, I just might break this time
I just might break this time

Oh, this time
Yeah, this time
Ah ha, ah ha, this time
