Time After Time
INOJ Lyrics

I'm lying in my bed
I'm alone, lying down, and reflecting on the past.

Hear the clock tickin'
I can hear the sound of the clock ticking, reminding me that time keeps moving forward.

I think of you
I am consumed by thoughts of you, reminiscing about our past experiences together.

Caught up in circles
I feel stuck, trapped in a cycle of reliving the same memories and emotions.

Confusion, there's nothing new
I am feeling lost and uncertain, but these emotions are familiar and have been present before.

Flashback, warm nights
I am transported back in time to memories of warm, comforting moments we shared together.

Almost left behind
Those memories seem like they might fade away, but they remain an important part of me.

Suitcase of memories
I carry these memories with me always, like a suitcase that I can't put down.

Time after
Time keeps passing, and with every moment that goes by, these memories feel farther away.

Sometimes you'll picture me
Occasionally, I imagine you thinking about me, just as I'm thinking about you now.

I'm walking too far ahead
I am moving forward with my life, but maybe too quickly, leaving you behind.

You're calling to me
You want me to stay close, to not forget you and the love we shared.

I can't hear what you say
Despite your calls, my mind is elsewhere, in my own world of memories and confusion.

And you say, go slow
Despite my rushing forward, you remind me to take things at a slower pace, to not forget the important people in my life.

I fall behind
Despite your request, I still struggle to slow down, and instead, I feel like I'm falling farther away from you.

The second hand unwinds
As time passes, I feel like I'm losing my grip on the present moment, caught up in my thoughts and memories.

If you're lost, you can look
You remind me that if I ever feel lost, I can always turn to you for help and support.

And you will find me
Even if I feel like I'm drifting away, you will always be there to guide me back.

Time after time
No matter what happens or how much time passes, you will always be a constant in my life.

If you fall, I will catch you
You promise to be there to help me if I ever stumble or need someone to lean on.

I will be waiting
You will always be ready and waiting for me, no matter how much time has passed since we last talked or saw each other.

After my picture fades
After my memories and experiences start to fade in my mind, when things start to feel uncertain and unclear.

And darkness has turned to gray
After times of happiness and lightness have passed, and things have started to feel a little bit darker.

Watching through windows
People are watching from the outside, trying to understand what I'm going through and what I'm thinking.

You're wondering if I'm okay
You are one of those people who cares about me and is trying to make sure that I'm doing well.

Secret stolen
I've kept my feelings and thoughts to myself, not wanting to burden or worry anyone.

All from deep inside
Despite my attempts to keep everything inside, my emotions and thoughts are still present and deep-seated within me.

The 808's on time
There is a constant beat or rhythm to life, whether it's the ticking of the clock or the steady rhythm of a song.

Time after time
No matter what, time keeps moving forward, and everything that happens and every person we encounter becomes a part of our own personal history.
