Time After Time
Ira Losco 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
Suitcase 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
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

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

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
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 song "Time After Time" by Ira Losco opens with the persona lying on her bed, listening to the ticking clock, and thinking about someone she loves. She’s caught up in a circular pattern of thoughts, and confusion is nothing new to her. The lyrics conjure up the image of the persona reminiscing about her past with this person, and the warm nights they shared. The suitcases of memories she has compiled highlight the length of time they have spent together. She knows this person intimately, including how they think and what they want, which is why sometimes she visualizes him walking away from her, but he doesn't hear her calling out to him. When she falls behind, he encourages her to take it slow, and he'll wait for her. Time keeps moving forward, but the persona recognizes that no matter what happens, he will always find her, and she will always be there to catch him. The song is a homage to the enduring power of love, relationships, and the resilience of the spirit despite the challenges of time.

@pejtu saying that the original one is always the better ...... but I think this is a good one, considering the slow tempo in the song, and this is acoustic, different from the original version!!
