Hourglass Lyrics

You'd run your fingers through my hair

Through my hair

We'd meet eyes

And our souls

They'd collide

We used to shoot for the moon

For the moon

But we fell short

So we had to cut ties

Race against your heart's momentum

Face the hard decisions

Always skipping no detention

Like a dog when I say "sic 'em"

God forgive him

And while you sitting watching hourglasses

Seen how time it passes

Washes ones we used to laugh with

Into past tense

And I think it's just a little too soon to say

But I seen you sway when the music hits

And the night is young and your mind drifts

From your perfect eyes to those soft lips

You tend to open up with a swing of hips

Shit you got a gift

Tongue-tied with that same old look

Like love for the first time got a boy shook

Why we steal someone's heart but return it in pieces

I seen across centuries, history always repeating

Uh, face your heart that's beating

Yeah rejection hurts, but it's worth more than a thousand secrets

When you took my hand

Felt I'd never know a place so sublime

But I found it in my memories

And the hourglass of time

You'd run your fingers through my hair

Through my hair

We'd meet eyes

And our souls

They'd collide

We used to shoot for the moon

For the moon

But we fell short

So we had to cut ties

Race against your heart's momentum

Face the hard decisions

Always skipping no detention

Like a dog when I say "sic 'em"

God forgive him

And while you sitting watching hourglasses
