This Time

[BUDDY]
Do you remember what you said?
How you hated me and wished I was dead
That you hoped I'd drive off the road
Then I'd hit a tree, and my car would explode
Well, I thought to myself
That can't be good for a daughter to say
And I thought to myself
I should do this another way

[KIMBERLY]
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
After all the lies
After all the beer
Maybe he can change
Maybe he's sincere
Maybe
This time

[PATTIE]
Do you remember what you said?
How I reminded you of that story you rеad
And at first, I felt kind of thrilled
'Til you explainеd who Medea had killed
Well, I thought to myself
That can't be good for a daughter to say
And I thought to myself
I should do this another way

[KIMBERLY]
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
After all the hurt
Maybe there's a twist
Maybe she won't be a narcissist
I want to believe them
I want to believe
This time
I will believe

This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
I put aside the doubt
This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
Maybe things work out

[DEBRA]
This time
Oh, this time
This time
The dead ends will end

[SETH & (DEBRA)]
This time (This time)
Oh, this time (This time)
Oh

[BOTH]
This time

[SETH]
I think I found a friend

[SHOWCHOIR]
It's Friday night in Bergen County
There are parties everywhere
And we finally got invited!

[ALL]
This time
(Oh) this time
(Oh) this time
A better life begins

It's Friday night in Bergen County (This time)
There are parties everywhere (This time)
This time
Everybody wins
This time
We won't implode
This time

[KIMBERLY]
We hit the road

[ALL]
This time

[BUDDY & PATTIE]
We'll stay on track

[ALL]
This time

[SETH]
My voice won't crack

[ALL]
This time

[SHOWCHOIR]
We take the prize

[ALL]
This time

[DEBRA]
Nobody dies!
Not like the other time

[ALL]
This time
Oh, this time
Oh, this time
No one breaks your heart
This time (This time)
Oh, this time (This time, this time)
Oh
This time

[KIMBERLY]
Nothing falls apart

[BUDDY (spoken)]
Make a wish!

[KIMBERLY]
I will believe

[ALL]
This time
