Time After Time

When I started this blog I thought I'd talk about what each song means to me personally. I assumed that there would be a reason each song found its way into my dreams and stayed with me into the waking hours. I rarely remember my dreams, so I thought that the songs in my head each morning would give insight into my subconscious. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Almost every song has felt very random--no special meaning, no clues to my inner-most secrets. I've always liked this song, but, like the others--RANDOM!! I do think, though, that music strokes my psyche in ways that I can't explain, and the melody of this song definitely affects me in some way.

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion--
is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after--

sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds

chorus:
if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time

after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows--you're wondering
if I'm OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time--

chorus:
if you're lost...

you said go slow--
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds--

chorus:
if you're lost...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time
