Time After Time
Sam Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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"
And 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 (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 okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
And 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
Mhm, ah
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 (I will be waiting)
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Mhm

Line by Line Meaning
Lying in my bed
I am resting on my bed
I hear the clock tick, and think of you
The sound of the clock ticking reminds me of you
Caught up in circles
I am stuck in a repetitive and unending cycle
Confusion is nothing new
Feeling confused is not an unusual thing
Flashback, warm nights
I remember the warm nights we spent together
Almost left behind
Those memories are almost forgotten now
Suitcase of memories
I carry a lot of memories with me everywhere I go
Time after
These memories keep coming back to me repeatedly
Sometimes, you picture me
At times, you recollect an image of me in your mind
I'm walking too far ahead
You think of me as someone who's moving ahead too fast
You're calling to me
You're trying to get my attention
I can't hear what you've said
But I am unable to hear what you're trying to say
Then you say, "Go slow"
You ask me to take things slower
And I fall behind
As a result, I end up falling behind you
The second hand unwinds
Time keeps moving forward
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
If you feel lost, just search for me and you'll find me
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
I will be there to catch you when you fall
Mhm, ah
(Instrumental break)
After my picture fades
After the image of me in your mind weakens
And darkness has turned to grey
And happiness has turned into sorrow and sadness
Watching through windows
You watch me from a distance
You're wondering if I'm okay
You're concerned about my well-being
Secrets stolen from deep inside
Someone has taken away my deepest secrets
And the drum beats out of time
The rhythm of my heart is irregular and off-beat
Time after time
Again and again
Time after time
Again and again
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
If you're feeling lost, just search for me and you'll find me
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
I will be there to catch you when you fall
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
If you're feeling lost, just search for me and you'll find me
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting (I will be waiting)
I will be there to catch you when you fall (I will be waiting)
Time after time
Again and again
Time after time
Again and again
Time after time
Again and again
Mhm
(Instrumental break)

I've got a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind
Time after time
Time, time, time
But you say to go slow but I fall behind
Time after time after time (after time, oh)

He treated this song with so much love, care, and respect... like he was holding something so fragile in his hands. ❤❤ the back up singers were amazing ❤ I think the answer to all the war in this world is Sam's voice
