But not for long in a sense, right?

The hadrean period (lava earth) was approximately as long as there have been vertebrates. So pretty long!

yeah but speaking from personal experience at least, i cant remember the last time the earth was covered in lava

For about half a billion years Earth was mostly molten on the surface. So about 11% of the time. And then we've had major glaciation periods especially the cryongenian that lasted 78M years about 640M years ago.
