Lyrics[]
Rachel:
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
Suitcase of memories
Time after
Sam:
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
Rachel with Sam:
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 (Sam: I'll be waiting) (Rachel: I will be waiting)
Time after time
Rachel:
After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to grey
Sam:
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Sam with Rachel:
Secrets stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats out of time
Rachel with Sam:
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
Rachel:
You said go slow
I fall behind
Rachel and Sam:
The second hand unwinds
Rachel with Sam:
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
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
