Hourglass Lyrics

On the day we said our yeses

We had a weird guest

He gave us an hourglass

And said it was a test

Then he disappeared without a trace

And the sand was already falling

Was the sand our time, or was it meaningless

We had no way of knowing

I will never die

For anyone

Except you and I

Except you and I

But I'll keep staring at

The time that's running out

For the two of us

No, I will never stop

Staring at our hourglass

Does it count seconds or minutes

Till we reach our limits

Do we just think that it will end

Do we really know what happens

When the time runs out

Or can we turn it again

Can we turn it again

So we keep staring at the time

Scared that it will run out

But we don't think we're wasting time

Watching time

Of you and I

I will never die

For anyone

Except you and I

Except you and I

But I'll keep staring at

The time that's running out

For the two of us

No, I will never stop

Staring at our hourglass

Are we stuck in it?

Are we drowning in quicksand

Are we spiraling down?

God, when will this end

Maybe we were worried for nothing

And it's a beautiful death

Dying there with you

In the pile of sand

I will never die

For anyone

Except you and I

Except you and I

But I'll keep staring at

The time that's running out

For the two of us

No, I will never stop

Staring at our hourglass

Then one day you knocked it over

It fell on the ground and broke

We thought that it was over

That we'd disappear in smoke

But nothing actually happened

And we realised that

That

We wasted our time

So many hours

Are gone, they just went by

While we were looking at the sand

Thinking it was our time

While actual time went by

We'll never know what happens

When it's over

You knocked it over and it broke

And it made our minds sober

I will never die

Without you by my side

I refuse to lose more time

After what we did

I'm now not staring at

The time we have left

Cause I actually don't know

What's left for us

Cause we lost our hourglass

We never needed our hourglass

We never needed our hourglass

Cause it meant nothing for us
