Sand Time Machine Lyrics

Owen's house is full of sunlight and dusty corners

I command the power and the tools to make it clean

Owen smells like fresh cut grass in the morning

When he mows the lawn and makes me breakfast while I sleep

How I hate to be a ghost

I make his eyes look haunted

I try to let him know

It's not what I wanted

Love is like an hourglass with no bottom

That you empty then you leave

A sand time machine

I would like to scour his bathroom tile and scrub his baseboards

I would go out back and pick the flowers off his weeds

Put them in a jar and set it on the kitchen table

And sit right there pretending that he still belongs to me

How I hate to be a ghost

I make his eyes look haunted

I try to let him know

It's not what I wanted

Love is like an hourglass with no bottom

That you empty then you leave

A sand time machine
