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

[Verse 2]

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

[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'll be waiting) I will be waiting

Time after time

[Verse 3]

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

[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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

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) I will be waiting

Time after time

[Outro]

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

Time after time

Time after

Time
