Cyndi came up with the title when she saw it in the magazine TV Guide. "Time After Time" was the name of a 1979 science fiction movie starring Malcolm McDowell as a man who invents a time machine. Says Rob:
"When she saw 'Time After Time,' something clicked - she said 'I think I have a title.' I was sitting at the piano and just started banging out what would eventually be the chorus, hook, and the way we sing it. It almost had like a Reggae feel, it was a little bouncier and a little more upbeat. We started getting off on that chorus, then the verse melodies started to appear. It's a deceptively simple song. The verses are just a little repeating 3 note motif - almost like a nursery rhyme, a very simple song. Then we started to realize we were on to something. The mood of the lyrics came from both of us. I think Cyndi came in and really started the lyric flow, then all of the sudden we realized it wasn't such a bouncy song, but it was a little more bittersweet and a little deeper in its feeling and a little more poignant, so the music started to change. We wrote a little bridge section and I think the last thing we really wrote was the chorus. We had 'Time After Time,' we just had to get the words that would surround it."

Yes, it's clearly a love song. You could take it even further that it is a love lost but not a love forgotten song, which makes it somewhat sad.

Yes. I can understand why someone would question it, because it's not flat-out lovey dovey, but I think the basic message is that if he needs her, she will be there and isn't that what love is really all about? So I'd considerate it as such.

I think it's kinda a 'love lost' song. I think she's talking about a relationship having halted/ended, due to her own doing, and now she's regretting her actions. She still speaks fabourably of the loved-one, and wants the person to know she's still there.
It's actually one of my favourite songs.

Yes- I think so. It's a very unique love song though.
