Class Exercise:Time after Time

Time after Time

(Cyndi Lauper/She's so Unusual)

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles, confusion is nothin' new

Flashbacks, warm night, almost left behind

Suitcase of memories, Time after...

Sometimes, you'll 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

(refrain)

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

Watchin' through windows, you've wondering if I'm OK

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time

I think the lyrics of this song means that she is remembering her old boy friend and memories. Maybe she wants to return to those days.
