An optimistic indie rock ballad written by Ian Gomersall and performed and produced by Johnny & the Box.
lyrics
We said our love's forever but now its gone astray
Will we have to watch the fire, turn to ash and turn to grey?
They say it's now or never so now's the time to say
If we talk it through and we tell the truth we can throw the blame away
It was me , it was you
Things were said; not the truth
Hold my hand, take a ride
Find a way to the other side 'cos
I know we have the power to save us, we can turn the tide
I don't want to lose this love we have and leave it all behind
Not this time, not this time
A storm can't last forever, it always blows away
If we hold on tight through the darkest night, we'll find a brighter day
We can run, we can fly
Feel the sun and touch the sky
Take a chance, share the load
Spend our lives on the open road 'cos
I know we have the power to save us, we can turn the tide
I don't want to lose this love we have and leave it all behind
Not this time, not this time
Not this time, not this time
I know we have the power to save us, we can turn the tide
I don't want to lose this love we have and leave it all behind
Not this time, not this time
Not this time, not this time
I know we have the power to save us, we can turn the tide
I don't want to lose this love we have and leave it all behind
Not this time, not this time
Not this time, not this time
Not this time
