Time and Again
Echoes of Lost Connections: Embracing Strains in 'Time and Again'
Lyrics
Well I had this crazy feeling that I’ve lost you again
Expressing a sense of repeatedly losing someone important.
Looked around and found out where you are
Locating the person and being aware of their whereabouts.
Turned around and caught you frown and standing on the street
Noticing the person frowning while standing on the street, possibly with a guitar.
Just a chord on your guitar
Observing a musical chord played on the guitar, suggesting a connection to emotions or expression.
Well I took you to the paces that I’ve been to as a kid
Taking the person to places from the speaker's childhood.
The city where the sidewalks never lie
Describing a city where the environment is honest, where sidewalks don't deceive.
Drifted through the crowd, I saw you glancing away
Noticing the person looking away while navigating through a crowd.
Terrified to meet my eyes
Feeling the other person's fear to make eye contact.
We’ll help you understand the world, we easily turned away
Offering assistance in understanding the world but acknowledging a tendency to turn away easily.
If you need me to, I’m happy to oblige
Willingness to help if needed, suggesting a sense of obligation.
But somehow I can sense that you were lost and hesitant
Sensing the other person's confusion and reluctance in the denial of something.
In the sound of your denial
Implying that the denial is reflected in the sound, possibly a musical or emotional tone.
And I know too well the strain of losing, somebody tried to say
Understanding the emotional difficulty of losing someone, possibly referencing shared friends.
Friends of ours that vow to bitter end
Referring to friends who pledge loyalty but may face challenges.
To have our best put to the test and knowing that we’ll fail to adapt
Acknowledging that the speaker and the person will be tested, expecting failure to adapt.
Time and again
Repetition of the phrase "Time and again," indicating a recurring theme or experience.
Felt it time and again
Reiterating the feeling experienced repeatedly.
Felt it time and again
Continuing the repetition, emphasizing the persistent nature of the emotions.
