Time After Time
Changing Faces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If your lost, you can look
And you will find me (you will find me)
Time after time
Ohhh, nah nah nah

Cassandra
I'm lying in my bed
I hear the clock tickin'
And I think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new

Charisse
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase full of memories
Time after time
Music intermission
Ohhhhh, oh yeah, uh huh yeah

Cassandra
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
Your calling out to me
But I can't hear a thing you say

Charisse
And you say (ooooooooo)
Go slow and I fall behind (ooooooooo)
And the second hand unwinds (oooooooo)

[Chorus:]
If your lost, you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I will be waiting
Time after time
If your lost, you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I will be waiting
Time after time

When you're lost (whenever you're lost)
I will be your guide (let me be your guide)
When you fall (whenever you fall)
I'll lift you up (I'll lift you up yeah)

Charrise
After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to grey
Watching through the windows
Your wondering if I'm okay

Cassandra
Sleepless stolen
From deep inside
The eight-0-eight is right on time

[Chorus]

Time after time after time (if you should fall just call me)
Time after time
Time after time after time
Time after time (it's your love right here)
Time after time after time (you know you are my, my my my man, my my man yes you are)
Time after time (ohhhhh yeah)
Time after time after time
Time after time




Time after time after time (time time time time time)
Time after time

Overall Meaning

The Changing Faces song "Time After Time" is a romantic ballad about a couple whose love transcends time and distance. The two vocalists, Cassandra and Charisse, take turns singing their parts, each expressing their devotion and willingness to be there for each other. The chorus repeats the phrase "If you're lost, you can look and you will find me, time after time."


Cassandra begins the song by describing her thoughts while lying in bed, listening to the ticking clock. She thinks of her lover and reflects on how life can be confusing and overwhelming at times. Charisse then chimes in with memories of warm nights and a suitcase full of memories. Despite the distance between them, they think of each other often and are always there for each other.


The chorus is a promise of sorts, a reassurance that even if they get lost or fall down, they will always find their way back to each other. The bridge features Charisse singing about watching her picture fade and wondering if her lover is okay. Cassandra then sings about the sleepless nights she experiences, but also notes that the 808 is "right on time," which could be interpreted as a reference to a heartbeat or a symbol of the steady rhythm of their love.


The song is a touching tribute to enduring love and the strength of a relationship that can withstand time and distance. The lyrics are poignant and heartfelt, with a simple message that resonates with listeners.
