Rise Against This Time It's Personal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun two thousand 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
[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
Even if you're traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun two thousand 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

[Bridge]
Hey!
In everyone, in every place
I hear your voice, I see your face
But from my hands, you slipped away
[Chorus]
Even if your traveling at the speed of light
Circling the sun two thousand 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
