Hourglass Sand Lyrics

You might think it would be easier to fly away

Some random day when you're twenty-two

But add the miles, subtract the smiles

That loved ones mean, that family means

Living so damn far away

Just makes me think of those days

The wasted time when you were close, I loved most

I tried to write a happy song

But found my motivation gone

The Golden State's no treasure chest

When you're 3000 miles away

And though I love you more each day

I'll trade endless cotton candy sunsets

Laced with palm trees any day

For just one Pennsylvania morning

As long as I'm holding your hand

You might think that I'm enjoying it, the time I spend

On the wrong end of the continent

I guarantee babe I need to be saved

By your embrace your lovely face

I was promised I would be let down

I accepted it without a sound

And now that I'm here on my own, I'm alone

I tried to write a happy song

But found my motivation gone

The Golden State's no treasure chest

When you're 3000 miles away

And though I love you more each day

I'll trade endless cotton candy sunsets

Laced with palm trees any day

For just one Pennsylvania morning

As long as I'm holding you

I tried to write a happy song

But found out everything was wrong

Cause when you aren't here with me

The purpose gets real hard to see

And what the hell does money mean

I'll trade endless work days all the hours paid

If I only could my dear

For just one morning anywhere

Side by side, curled up tight

Hand in hand before it's gone

Hourglass sand
