  • 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, yeah yeah

    You can't say I didn't give it
    I won't wait another minute
    We're on our way this time around, yeah oh yeah
    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, yeah yeah

    You can't say I didn't give it
    I won't wait another minute
    We're on our way this time around, yeah oh yeah
    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
    And we won't go down
    And we won't go down, yeah
    And we won't go down
    All I know is that fear has got to go
    This time around
    This time around, yeah

    I've started feeling like I don't want to fight
    Just give in to the given and put out the light
    Cannons a blazing shower these moonlit skies
    Then I remember and I know why he died
    Do you know why I die

    You can't say I didn't give it
    I won't wait another minute
    We're on our way this time around, yeah oh yeah
    You can't say I didn't give it
    I won't wait another minute
    We're on our way this time around, yeah oh yeah

    You can't say I didn't give it
    I won't wait another minute
    We're on our way this time around, yeah oh yeah
    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
    And we won't go down
    And we won't go down Writer/s: ISAAC HANSON, TAYLOR HANSON, ZAC HANSON, ZACHARY WALKER HANSON

  • Laura from Bergen, NyI totally love This Time Around!! When I listen to This Time Around, it makes me want to take charge and change my ways in my life. They look amazingly hot especially Taylor! I love him very much! Keep up the awesome songs, Hanson!! You Rock!!
  • Heather from Waukesha, WiI love the song, I couldn't believe that their music changed so much. I also like the message in the song because it reminds me of my life and what I want to achieve out of it.
  • Madeline from Melbourne, AustraliaThis song is one of the best. The album is different from Middle Of Nowhere but still boppy.
  • Winona from Mount Morris, IlThis song is what made me a Hanson Fan (with a capital F). I was shocked and quite pleasantly surprised that it was Hanson, those "cute little boys," that I was seeing and hearing. I bought the album not long after. That whole summer, I told everyone who would listen that that album was the most surprisingly good album I'd heard that year...and as they say, the rest is history.
  • Aria from Omaha, Nethey looked good in the video for this
