Time After Time
She & Him Lyrics

Lyin' in my bed I hear the clock tick
I'm laying in bed and I can hear the steady ticking of the clock.

And think of you
I'm thinking about you while hearing the clock ticking away.

Caught up in circles confusion
I feel like I'm trapped in a confusing cycle of thoughts and emotions.

Is nothing new
This confusion and being trapped in my thoughts is something that happens quite often.

Flashback warm nights
I'm remembering some warm, pleasant nights from the past.

Almost left behind
These memories are almost forgotten.

Suitcase of memories
These pleasant memories are like a collection of valuable belongings in a suitcase.

Time after
These memories keep coming up again and again.

Sometimes you picture me
Sometimes you imagine me in your mind.

I'm walking too far ahead
In your imagination, I'm walking too far and too fast ahead of you.

You're calling to me I can't hear
You're trying to call out to me but I can't hear you.

What you've said
I can't hear your words and the message you're trying to convey.

Then you say go slow
Then you tell me to slow down.

I fall behind
I slow down and fall behind you.

The second hand unwinds
Time keeps moving on, and the seconds keep ticking away.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
If you ever feel lost or alone, you can seek me out and find me.

Time after time
Over and over again, whenever you need me.

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
If you ever stumble or fall, I'll be there to catch you and support you.

After my picture fades and darkness
As time goes on, and my memory starts to fade away.

Has turned to gray
My memory becomes less vivid and full of color.

Watching through windows
You're watching me from afar, as if through a window.

You're wondering if I'm okay
You're concerned about my well-being and wondering if I'm doing alright.

Secrets stolen from deep inside
Someone has taken some deep, personal secrets of mine without my knowledge or consent.

The drum beats out of time
My heart beats and drums out of sync from what it used to be.

Time after time
No matter what happens or how much time passes, I'll always be there for you.
