Hour Glass
Bits of you and bits of me strewn all around
Blue bags in brown trees, I can hardly wait for winter, I’m so sick of seeing skin
You’re cold cuz your sheets are thin, still I spy you through the keyhole, I crawl under your skin
Of New Yorks and Dorothys, model wives and 0 – 3s
Friends that know that others don’t, some lovers will whereas others won’t
A simple truth, a cut that bleeds, one mother’s ruin is another mother’s dream
It’s all for you, yeah I mean everything
Hands up who wishes that they’d never fell in love?
A billion stars could pass, you can’t crack an hour glass, you can’t crack an hour glass
Hands up who wishes that they’d never played it straight?
But that’s the chance you take, you can’t crack an hour glass, you can’t crack an hour glass
Cuz everything you’ve heard is true and for sure apologies are owed to you
But to be quite fair you always knew that everything I spit has been chewed
Cuz every third day I shall waste and everything thought I think I taste
And every heart is broken in two cuz everything you’ve heard is true
I’ve got thrills in me, I’ll put thrills in you, I’ll got thrills in me, I’ll put thrills in you
Hands up, stand up, I’ll scream into your mouth girl, all that ends well is all that pretends girl
These voices plague me, it’s a crisis daily, though you’ve tried to save me, I’m too close to crazy
Hands up, stand up, scream into your mouth girl, all that ends well is all that pretends girl
This song started life as “The Hour Glass” and was then known as “Edges and Echoes” for a few months. It’s now back to its original title, minus the “The”.
