Time After Time
Joseph William Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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




I will be waiting
I will be waiting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Joseph William Morgan's song Time After Time encourage listeners to seek comfort in a loved one during times of struggle. The repetition of the phrase "time after time" emphasizes the reliability and consistency of the person being addressed in the song. The opening lines "If you're lost, you can look and you will find me" create an image of a person lost in a labyrinth, who seeks help from someone they can trust. This repeated idea of trust and reliability is further reinforced in the lines "If you fall, I will catch you; I'll be waiting." This phrase is particularly powerful because it can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. The image of a person falling and being caught creates a sense of protection and safety, while the metaphorical idea of falling could represent any of life's struggles.


The lines "You say go slow, I fall behind" suggest that the addressed person may be cautious and the singer may be more impulsive or eager to make progress in their lives. However, the consistent offer of support and reassurance from the singer creates a sense of balance and trust in their relationship. Overall, the lyrics emphasize the importance of having a reliable and consistent person in one's life, who can provide support and stability during difficult times.

Garcia Flynn really just wanted his family back. His face when he realized when he couldn't get them back was incredibly sad.
