Hourglass — Emily Kocontes Lyrics

Hourglass Song Lyrics

---

The days seem longer, and hours never seem to pass
as I wait for the next time to see your face
standing by my window, peering through the glass
you pull up front and my heart starts to race
now I wish I could stop the time, stop the ticking and hourly chime.

the sand slips fast when I flip the hourglass
so I keep turning it over and over and over

I'm holding on to the memories that we share
and I wish I could just be strong for something so rare
time keeps on slipping, slipping from me fast
and I wish I could smash this hourglass

so young, so reckless, only thinking about you and I
never thought a girl could love a boy so much
so scared of what might happen, don't ever wanna say goodbye
just wanna lay in your arms and your soft touch
but I can't stop the time, stop the ticking and hourly chime

the sand slips fast when I flip the hourglass
so I keep turning it over and over and over

I'm holding on to the memories that we share
and I wish I could just be strong for something so rare
time keeps on slipping, slipping from me fast
and I wish I could smash this hourglass

and like every grain of sand, thats slipping through our hands
we won't be trapped inside this hourglass, our love will break it open
over and over

I'm holding on to the memories that we share
and I wish I could just be strong for something so rare
time keeps on slipping, slipping from me fast
and I wish I could smash this hourglass
