Orbis Max - Not This Time Lyrics

Way back when we were slightly more than friends
We came to a point where the road had to bend
You were looking for tattoos and wild sparks
You were looking for strangers' hands on you in the dark

I was into keeping promises
Into keeping vows
All that kept you away back then
You are craving now

And in some other world you would be mine
I would have changed so easily then, but not this time

You used to joke that I was born an old man
You used to cringe that I would play for safety
But all the traits you used to find so boring
Foundational to everything that made me

You were looking for a bad boy
Looking for that heat
Now you want the security
We had when we would meet

And in some other world you would be mine
I would have changed easily then, but not this time
I tried not
To be reckless by design
You could have had me cheap back then, but not this time

Baby, you were a hurricane
Whipping around the weather vane
Of course it was love, that's not what I'm sayin'
I can't put myself through that again

And in some other world you would be mine
I would have changed easily then, but not this time
And would have gladly hung my heart out on the line
But that was then and this is now, not this time
