Hourglass
Ever since the Sun had settled
Down out across the bay
The hours they just go on past
But the seconds they just seem to last
I hate to feel this way
Cuz in the light
I am a ghost to you
But at night I'm the one that you come to
Leaving bottles on my shore
I'll kiss their mouths like they are yours
Timid hearts like painted glass
Wondering how long we'll last
Our world can be so bitter and so cruel
But there's sand left in the hourglass
So please don't run away so fast
As you go and slip out of my grasp
And you become the past
We must be such a sight
Carrying heavy bags under our eyes
Mine filled with hope
And yours with lies
I know that you should be
Happy where you are
Twirling your ring girl full of keys
The fog paints the cityscape in grey
It reminds me of the words you used to say
Timid hearts like painted glass
Wondering how long we'll last
Our world can be so bitter and so cruel
But there's sand left in the hourglass
So please don't run away so fast
As you go and slip out of my grasp
And you become the past
The books and their stories they all tell us
That a happy end's to be
But once you leave their tender pages
It's just nothing like reality
Timid hearts like painted glass
Wondering how long we'll last
Our world can be so bitter and so cruel
But there's sand left in the hourglass
So show me how you run so fast
As I let you go and slip out of my grasp
And you become the past
Down out across the bay
The hours they just go on past
But the seconds they just seem to last
I hate to feel this way
Cuz in the light
I am a ghost to you
But at night I'm the one that you come to
Leaving bottles on my shore
I'll kiss their mouths like they are yours
Timid hearts like painted glass
Wondering how long we'll last
Our world can be so bitter and so cruel
But there's sand left in the hourglass
So please don't run away so fast
As you go and slip out of my grasp
And you become the past
We must be such a sight
Carrying heavy bags under our eyes
Mine filled with hope
And yours with lies
I know that you should be
Happy where you are
Twirling your ring girl full of keys
The fog paints the cityscape in grey
It reminds me of the words you used to say
Timid hearts like painted glass
Wondering how long we'll last
Our world can be so bitter and so cruel
But there's sand left in the hourglass
So please don't run away so fast
As you go and slip out of my grasp
And you become the past
The books and their stories they all tell us
That a happy end's to be
But once you leave their tender pages
It's just nothing like reality
Timid hearts like painted glass
Wondering how long we'll last
Our world can be so bitter and so cruel
But there's sand left in the hourglass
So show me how you run so fast
As I let you go and slip out of my grasp
And you become the past
