Lyrics for Hourglass

This time next year you'll be gone, babe I don't know what I'll do, babe You hold me by a string, babe You let me wear your ring, babe Take a little time to process You got big dreams, gotta reassess I wanna be with you I wanna be with you Nobody here really knows me They just wanna tell me stories About the friends that they met in college And how famous people are their parents I always feel like a dirty kid I used to eat out of the garbage I know I should probably get over it But somehow it feels I'm still in it I know you see me out shining, yeah Tell me all the time, I think you're lying You hold you my hand so patient Sometimes I yell and scream and throw shit And then the moment's over And suddenly a boulder Is just sand In an hourglass Then the moment's over And suddenly a boulder Is just sand In an hourglass
