Time After Time

this song is about someone who is slowly letting go of another person due to the confusion between them.they arent breaking away from them completely because the feeling is still there. she wants the person to remember that if they are ever in trouble she'll be there for them. no matter what.

I think too often we think of love as a continued state of good times. I think this song is about the reality of loving someone unconditionally, even when out of time with one another. It's about the challenge that love presents over the course of time- for better or worse, people changing together and apart but choosing each other over and over. It doesn't have to apply to romantic love alone, but any love between two people that lasts a life time.

This song to me is about reflecting on her mother. She ran away to live her way wanting to just have fun. She is seen watching a movie that reminds her of how her parents were and seeing it through the eyes of an adult, rather than a child. Love gives you hope. She contemplates where she is now being the adult, yet still being too young to be set in stone. So she shaves off half her hair and goes to meet her boyfriend who ridicules her like a child and she runs away. As she stands there she is reminded of her mother figure who accepts her no matter what. She returns to her home away from home shared with her older boyfriend and realizes she really just wants to go back home and start again with her parents. Rather than trying to grow up so fast, she finds the value in her situation to go home and end her confusion of choices. while she still has time. She leaves and her boyfriend catches that she is going. He helps her pack in a more suitable case and takes her to the statrion to see her off. She tells him that no matter what she will always love him and be there if he needs her as he has been for her. she leaves her case which is in a way assurance that in time she will be back. But her priority is on revering something she cares deeply for. I believe that is her relationship with her mom. We see her mom in several of Cyndi's videos. She is the woman sweeping. She still has time to correct the ways of her youth. A mothers love is eternal. She wants to explore that before time has gone too far. ;)

This is the ultimate song of heartache. It shows how life isn't black and white, but with plenty of gray. Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new

This is definitely a love song, though I don't think it necessarily has to be about a romantic kind of love. This song really reminds me a lot of my best friend who I've knows since I was 11. A LOT has changed with us...we ourselves have changed as people, we've both said and done some really bad things to each other, and now we rarely even talk anymore and I haven't seen her in nearly 2 years. However, despite all that, she is still my best friend. She will ALWAYS be my best friend. I can accept that things between us have changed and that we will probably never be as close as what we were before, but I will NEVER forget her and everything we've been through together. One of the very few people in my life that I love unconditionally.

I see this song as a goodbye to someone - doesn't matter the kind of relationship - because life is drifting them away, one stays behind, the other one is going forward but the memory of their love stays forever and each one is ready to come and rescue the other. True love never dies. Any kind of love.

this song is purly about, love ending but not forgeting about the memories u shared with one another. i guess u can u can say, they been togeather for awhile. and one has to go away or they break up. no matter what happens one or the other person will remember what they shared togeather, or what they lost as a whole. "Lying in my bed, I hear The clock tick and think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new" it talks about after the person left. she just thinks about him none stop, thinking of what to do, to move on or just try a nd get him back, as she gets confused. she says in her song no matter what happens she will be t here for the one she loves. and she will stay waiting untill he returns one day.

To me it's about a solid friendship. Having each other's back no matter what. The chorus, in particular, appeals to me. True. Very beautiful song.

I love the movie scene she's watching in the video, when a man says "once you said to me that peace and happiness may be found, you gave me hope but now.. now i have to say goodbye" Anyway this is just a beautiful simple song, probably about the end of a relationship, when even habitual things become so stressful and you know that love is gone but just can't leave that person

this song is great! it could be used for a relationship or just friends. whenever i hear this song i always think of my friends, and how many good times we've shared. there is always those people in your life who you've been friends with since you were young, and they always come to my mind when i hear this. most of those people who i've known my whole life are still here and i value them very much, and this song sums up everything we've been through
