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
