Sawayama, Rina - This Time Last Year Lyrics

This is my favorite song. I identify as straight but my heart flutters when Rina sings.

Amazing

i miss my friends

This time last year i found this song and lost my friend who i felt was my soulmate... This song just expresses how i felt about the past. I miss having him in my life but it was mutual and for the best.

im crying so much to this song. reminds me of my ex gf. i miss her sm :(

Its a true shame that this doesnt have more exposure

Such a beautiful song, and a voice as pure as an angel's voice.

last year i thought things would be different, more meaningful and strong, i found, people that only bought me pain as i just loved them even if that was the case. i can love people in that state? i didnt realized the pain they brought me until my mom cried for me. a relationship full of hurt, doubt and pain but love, a lot of it

thank you spotify discover weekly. you are a blessing

perfeição sonora, sofro

This song is so beautiful, from the music to the lyrics. It immediately brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

this made me: cry

why: because i miss her

but: she was so mean :(

and: i never had her until she left :(

this song is so so pretty

this song is so beautiful, and i don't know if you know anything about the anime neon genesis evangelion..but it reminded me of the fly me to the moon cover they use for the ending song for some reason, i guess because of the sort of hopeful and nostalgic but sad vibe. anyways love it <3

I'm late af but oml chills

Rina is very rina. What I mean by that is that her sound is very unique. Its her own. Like if I didn't know her and I heard her on the radio or something I WOULDN'T mistake her for ANYONE ELSE. Its great to see and hear artist like her. Anyway rina, love you and your music so much!

THIS TIME LAST YEAR LYRICS

[Verse 1]
This time last year
There was a twinkle in your eye
While you stared into the fire was a love affair
But that was then this time last year

[Verse 2]
This time last year
We raised our glasses to the night
Oh, I was your family and you were mine
But that was then this time last year

[Chorus]
But this time this year
I'm running circles round the thoughts of you, my dear
I should've realized the end was drawing near
We acted out of fear, see
Well, now it's over

{Verse 3]
This time last year
While the amber lights were shinning so bright
I held a hope that we would be alright
But that was then this time last year

[Outro]
This time last year
I thought I knew everything

[Verse 1]
This time last year
There was a twinkle in your eye
While you stared into the fire was a love affair
But that was then this time last year

[Verse 2]
This time last year
We raised our glasses to the night
Oh, I was your family and you were mine
But that was then this time last year

[Chorus]
But this time this year
I'm running circles round the thoughts of you, my dear
I should've realized the end was drawing near
We acted out of fear, see
Well, now it's over

{Verse 3]
This time last year
While the amber lights were shinning so bright
I held a hope that we would be alright
But that was then this time last year

[Outro]
This time last year
I thought I knew everything

RINA SAWAYAMA , you bring me confidence. I'm so glad to have your music in my life.:)

im quaking.

i literally can't wait for more

Listening at New Years Eve. <3 I hope we have a Rina Sawayama debut album before Dec 31st 2018.

This time last year my wig flew to asia and never came back

this is so beautiful

Wishing I would have paid more attention in music theory so I could figure out the chord progressions lol one of my favorite songs I’m glad I discovered you randomly on the internet!

Wow, I really love this. The writing really resonates with me. Thank you for making something so beautiful. Its rare to find songs like this. XO

イイネ！good

Oh this is just so beautiful

Beautiful song. Well done.

I can't compose a comment that appropriately reflects the emotion that this song makes me feel. So astoundingly beautiful and subsequently reflective. I am forever in awe.

keep coming back to this because it gives me goosebumps every time I listen, your voice is so unique and beautiful, it really makes the listener feel something ❤ best wishes

If this is your official account, consider me a fan. This song is truly one of a kind.

wow amazing!!! Big love from France !!💕

I really needed a song like this. It's simultaneously cozy and yet it holds so much heavyheartedness. I feel kinda lost right now, and I'm glad I could find a song that's comforting, yet still speaks to the strange sort of sadness  I've been feeling. Thank you Rina <3

This was taken off soundcloud and now im broken, I love this track so much

this song just broke my heart into little pieces. when she sings my dear.. 😭😭sooo beautiful

I think if you just sing just random words or sounds i would still be crying the same way i'm right now. You have a magic voice.. Wonderful work. Thank you <3

This was a bliss to listen to, looking forward to whats next. Big ups from Mexico!

fuck me up queen

You have such a beautiful voice, sharp wit, and conscious soul that shines through in your music... The production quality of your content is amazing for such an obscure artist. I can't wait to see what you do next. The niche you're creating is one that many, many people have been clamoring for.

wow, my best friend just dedicate this song to me. I really love it.

just discovered ur music and im already in awe

I fucking love this woman

You have a really nice voice 😍

this is sooooo pretty.

rina, you're so beautiful. i hope you have a successful and fun 2017.

rina!!!! i'm kind of late but i'm so glad you released a new song!!! ever since i found where u are, it's the only song i keep listening to lmao truly my fave!!! your voice sounds very soulful can't wait for the whole album!! fucc me up ily

Such beautiful Christmas vibes I'm sensing.

Ugh i love you so much <3

Everything you do is so good!!!!!

so lovely and resonates so much. cannot wait for more!

I'm so excited for you and this song is very heartfelt and beautiful

I love this! I can really relate to this song. Thank you, Rina. 💖

I love your stuff! I only recently discovered you but I've never felt connected to someone's music in such a long time. I was so happy to see you upload.

ah i love this so much ❤️💙💛💚💜

YES QWEEN

i love you

I love your music Rina! keep it up :D

Your voice thoooo ❤️❤️❤️

I thought you quit, but I subscribed months back hoping you would post something new.

Waiting on the album. This is nice, and so are all the other tracks you've released so far, so looking forward to more.

Also, I think the whole social/antisocial, detachment, online vs. offline seam is a rich one you can keep mining because it's so pertinent now (how impactful has the internet been on our lives!) and your plays on words are great. I can relate, with all my fb friends, 10+ hours a day spent online, four walls of my room familiar down to every crease in the wallpaper, and only my wife and nephews for (offline) company most days. Yet I wouldn't change anything, so what exactly IS this we're doing now these days? I have friends all over the world but around my home my best friend is probably the fried chicken lady at the local wet market lol.

Sounds good. This time last year I'd never heard of you and now I have, first from the ASOS makeup tutorial of all things (love that site - delivers for free to Thailand for a £20 spend!), and here I am, a fan of the fashion and the music. Anyway, won't keep you. Happy Decemberween!

Deleted replies? :(

Yessss love this, another great one!! <3

SHE LIVES💕💕💕💕

cries because it feels like forever waiting for new music. But i respect artist that take time to produce their music/art at their own pace instead of aiming for the hype and feeding the mainstream pop culture❣️

On constant repeat 🍒🍒❤️‼️🎈
