Time After Time Remix
DJ Sammy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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

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

(That's right)
(Mmm.. Time after.)

You said go slow
I fall behind
The 808 on time

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

If you're 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

Overall Meaning

The DJ Sammy remix of "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper is a techno-pop version that adds a modern twist to the original. The first verse recalls the experience of being caught in a cycle of thoughts while lying in bed listening to a ticking clock. The singer is reminded of someone they miss and the confusion that surrounds their thoughts about that person. The second verse describes a communication breakdown between the two individuals, as one person walks ahead and doesn't listen to the other. The chorus describes a timeless bond between the two people that goes beyond bad timing or misunderstandings. The lyrics suggest that love is always available, and people can always reconnect, even if they appear to be lost.


The references to time and clocks are prevalent throughout the song, reflecting the importance of time in relationships. The seconds ticking away represent the idea that time is precious and can't be regained, but the chorus emphasizes that love can transcend time. The bridge of the song mentions the fading of a picture and the feeling of being lost, which alludes to a sense of nostalgia for a relationship that may have ended or changed over time. The drums in the song represent the beating of both time and the heart, linking the two themes together.
