Time and Time Again (original song by Alex Walsh)

Time and Time Again written on Jan 10 2025 by Alex Walsh
She said take me to that riverside
To the safe bank of a shore
With all your alternating tides
If you would let me oblige
I’d lead the path, clear the thorns,
To catch a sunset just in time
I try to run at a pace that can keep it alive
I try to give till you take
Till the lightning on your skin learns to rise
If only you knew
How I would hold you
How the shelter of a spark
Makes the beckoning flames
If you knew
How I would walk through
Burning coals, sharpened glass,
Broken hearts, scattered past
For another day of you not convinced when I say
“I would stand on this world to lie at your feet”
Time and time again
So take me to that riverside
Where the wounds steady flow
And the scars spell your name
Would you tell me when you’re terrified
Of a chance that it could break
Of a love you couldn’t shake
I’ll try to hold what you hate
So you never have to bear the weight
You gotta breathe before you break
So you can see what’s real and what’s really fake
If only you knew
How I would hold you
How the shelter of a spark
Makes the beckoning flames
If you knew
How I would walk through
Burning coals, sharpened glass,
Broken hearts, scattered past
For another day of you not convinced when I say
“I would stand on this world to lie at your feet”
Time and time again
So tell me if you’re sleeping fine
Cause I can’t quite relate
Due to the absence of your face
Would you take me to your riverside
Where your love steady flows
And your currents lead to mine
