This Time It's Personal
From every rooftop they are crying out
I don't know how, but it
All starts to sound the same to me
And when these fields are overrun
With children dodging dropping bombs, yeah
Your flags all look the same to me
And all I wanted was the chance to know your name
But helplessly I stood there as the world ripped you away
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun 2000 times
I will follow you into its light
This time it's personal
And even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time it's personal
And don't run from the person you've become
From the lines that you have drawn
And don't forget where you come from
Hey, don't look away
Stand up chum, now, show your face
Stand your ground now, come what may
Say what you came here to say
How could I let you slip away?
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun 2000 times
I will follow you into its light
This time it's personal
And even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time, this time
Hey
In everyone, in every place
I hear your voice, I see your face
But from my hands you slipped away
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun 2000 times
I will follow you into its light
This time it's personal
Even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time, this time
I don't know how, but it
All starts to sound the same to me
And when these fields are overrun
With children dodging dropping bombs, yeah
Your flags all look the same to me
And all I wanted was the chance to know your name
But helplessly I stood there as the world ripped you away
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun 2000 times
I will follow you into its light
This time it's personal
And even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time it's personal
And don't run from the person you've become
From the lines that you have drawn
And don't forget where you come from
Hey, don't look away
Stand up chum, now, show your face
Stand your ground now, come what may
Say what you came here to say
How could I let you slip away?
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun 2000 times
I will follow you into its light
This time it's personal
And even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time, this time
Hey
In everyone, in every place
I hear your voice, I see your face
But from my hands you slipped away
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun 2000 times
I will follow you into its light
This time it's personal
Even if the air's too thin to breathe
I will be the solace that you seek
I've never let a damn thing get to me
But this time it's personal
This time, this time
