TIME AFTER TIME
TRUE COLORS

TIME AFTER TIME

Lying 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 
suitcases 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-- 
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 

after my picture fades and darkness has 
turned to gray 
watching through windows--you're wondering 
if I'm OK 
secrets stolen from deep inside 
the drum beats out of time-- 

chorus: 
if you're lost... 

you said go slow-- 
I fall behind 
the second hand unwinds-- 

chorus: 
if you're lost... 
...time after time 
time after time 
time after time 
time after time
