Hourglass

Alright, it goes like
People coming and going
That's a fact
How I wish it could not be
For this to last, yeah
From arm-held passing, neon dancing
To talking shit on the phone
Long road, late nights, tears, and dumb fights
It didn't leave me alone
Catch me out on my way home
Saying goodbye
I know it's just impossible
For me not to cry
But the time just flies by, the end is nigh
Two years, just a blink of an eye
Oh I thought I would be happier
Because I wanted to run away and have my space
But thinking about these years
It's a shame
That this place won't ever be the same again with or without you
So stay

If time works like an hourglass
I would turn it back around and laugh
As the sand runs dry, I'll flip it fast
So we could always be together
I don't care about the bad stuff
If we had suffered, we did it together
But life moves on and time goes on
So stay in my memories forever
Forever

Trembling on the first days
With social anxiety
People are fake
Yet there are sparkles of clarity
Yeah I found friends, found real good friends
Soon we'll be talking through the phone
Long road, late nights, just you and I
They made me feel at home
I'll be sitting in cafés a year from now
Flipping through some old messages
I could laugh out loud
The birthday reminders
Album highlights jumping out once in a while
Now I'm alone in a crowd
Because I'll finally fly away and have my space
But if it means goodbyes
What a shame
Some I'll meet again
But more are gone forever in this big big world
So stay

If time works like an hourglass
I would turn it back around and laugh
As the sand runs dry, I'll flip it fast
So we could always be together
I don't care about the bad stuff
If we had suffered, we did it together
But life moves on and time goes on
So stay in my memories forever

Oh if time works like an hourglass
Then I won't let it pass, yeah
Extending a moment into infinite
Yeah yeah

But time's not like an hourglass
Can't just turn it back around and have
All these golden years all over again
And we can't always be together
Though it's going to end soon enough
At least we did have fun together
As life moves on and time goes on
Don't ever ever be a stranger
I'm here forever
Oh never ever be a stranger to me
