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

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 not OK

Secrets stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats
Out of time

If you're lost...

You said "go slow"

I fell behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost...
...time after time time after time time after time time after time. . .
