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
