"Hourglass" lyrics

"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 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
