This Time

After all the empty stars
And beautiful illusions
How can I be sure you're even here?
Maybe I'm too cynical
To fall until it's proven
Or maybe you're my year after year
Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay
And don't let me go
I'm waiting for a sign
So tell me that it's real this time
Open up the curtains
And clear off all the tables
I'm hoping we can change my history
'Cause who am I to recognize
The truth from a fable
And you're the one I long to believe
Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay
And don't let me go
I'm waiting for a sign
So tell me that it's real this time
Let me in
kill this doubt
'Cause from this high it's a long way down
Break my fall catch me now
Tell me you're in
Tell me I'm home
Promise you'll stay
And don't let me go
I'm waiting for a sign
So tell me that it's real this time
I'm waiting for sign
I need to know it's real this time
