This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tickin', think of you
Turning in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback to moon nights, almost left behind
A suitcase of memories, time after sometime
You picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you have said
And you say, "go slow, I've fallen 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
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting,
Time after time....time after time
After your picture fades and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows, I'm wondering if you're ok
And you say, "go slow, I've fallen behind"
The drum beats out of time
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 fall I will catch you, I will be waiting, time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Turning in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback to moon nights, almost left behind
A suitcase of memories, time after sometime
You picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you have said
And you say, "go slow, I've fallen 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
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting,
Time after time....time after time
After your picture fades and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows, I'm wondering if you're ok
And you say, "go slow, I've fallen behind"
The drum beats out of time
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 fall I will catch you, I will be waiting, time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song means a lot coz it's off the Smallville soundtrack and it played in my fav episode, Crush. I'm aware that this song's a cover, but just listening to the accoustic guitare is great. The lyrics are.. wow. It's really about missing someone, waiting for someone.. "After your picture fades and drakness has turned to gray" It's a great nostalgic song that is on repeat right before I fall asleep!
its a cover from cyndi lauper, like both versions.. except that eva's voice is unbelievably beautiful..
This is probably the best version of this song that I've ever heard. I used to think Everything But The Girl's was great until I heard this a couple of years ago. Her voice is so sweet and beautiful. The guitar sounds very much like the work of Johnny Marr which also adds to the song. Just simple and amazing. Simply amazing I guess :]
i prefer eva's version as compared to cyndi.
has nebody heard Flying Pickets sing this?! It's amazing how they use there voices !
Indeed the most beautiful version of this song ever recorded; Eva's voice is so perfect. A welcome change/extreme improvement from the way cyndi recorded it. I agree with ladypeace, definitely on repeat before going to sleep!
this is my favourite song of all time!!!! the lyrics are just amazing!!! i cant decide which version i like best!!! eva's is beutiful coz her voice is so pure. but Good Charlotte covered it also...sounds great when i is rocked up. and also Matchbox 20 sang it on tour and its also very good.
but yeah, best song ever written. its about a relationship...whether it be bf/gf or even just a special friendships and no matter what happens, u will always be there, even when it seems theres no hope..."flashback to warm nights, almost left behind" and "After your picture fades And darkness has turned to gray".
could go on all day about this song coz it can have different meanings or everyone, depending on what situation you find yourself in.
ahem, im done
This version is so beautiful. Eva's voice is perfect. I saw it in Smallville and it was used when Whitney's dad died at the funeral. I think it's about losing someone and you miss them so badly but you know that they are always going to be there watching over you..
so want this played at my funeral. can be morbid or a song of hope, depending on how you feel when you listen to it and how you chose to view it. love every version of this but Eva's is the best. huge fan of her work. her voice is just the best!!
i would dedicate this song to anyone i love and who means alot to me. just to let them know that no matter what, if they are happy or sad, up or down, i will be waiting, always ready to be there for them...time after time.
This is my favourite version of this song it's sounds as thougth she really means it. It's also really nice with the acoustic guitar.
