"Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper feat. CYRIL & Tones and I traces a love stretched across distance and memory, where ticking clocks and unwinding seconds measure how easily two people drift out of sync. Lying awake with a suitcase of memories, the ache is not anger but the fear of being unreachable when the other stumbles. The repeated promise to catch every fall, time after time, turns patience into devotion, insisting that love can wait through confusion, fading pictures, and stolen secrets until the lost are found again.
Time After Time Lyrics by Cyndi Lauper
(Feat. CYRIL & Tones and I)
Lyin’ 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 walkin’ too far ahead
You’re callin’ to me
I can’t hear what you’ve said
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
After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watchin’ through windows
You’re wondering if I’m okay
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
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
