about
“This Time” is a moody, irreverent waltz and an anthem of reclamation for women. It is a result of another matchup with indie-pop producer Katie Buchanan and the first single off Virginia's upcoming EP, Reckoning.
lyrics
This Time
by Virginia Marcs
Verse 1:
I’m not, I’m not coming out tonight, yeah, I don’t, I don’t have it in me
There’ve been too many thieves in this menagerie, there’s nothing left of me
They say I know I’ve got what you’re looking for, got just what you need
Chorus:
I've been carved out and shaped, held down and draped across your finish line
A consolation prize, but not this time, not this time
Verse 2:
You try, keep trying to define me, yeah, you say, ha! you say I’m no lady
I take up too much space, too much for public grace, yeah, you can’t bear the infamy
I feel the bile rise, it whispers all your lies, they keep breathing in me
Chorus:
I've been carved out and shaped, held down and draped across your finish line
A consolation prize, but not this time, not this time
This time I’m mine, this time I’m mine
This time I’m mine, this time I’m mine, yeah
I don’t have to smile for you, no, baby, I don’t want to
I don’t need your point of view, this body does not belong to you
This time, this time, this time, this time;
This time, this time, this time;
This time, this time, this time;
Oh no not this time, no not this time,
Oh no not this time, this time, this time
Not this time
