"Hourglass" lyrics

"Hourglass"

Does it make your heart beat fast?
Turning over hourglass after hourglass
Till they're gone? (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Staring at a faded map
Never stopped to clear a path
Now you're walking alone (woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I meant to make it before
But the making's no good anymore
I meant to make it by now
But the making's no good anyhow

(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Are you staying up all night
Staring at a candlelight that flickers
Till the dawn? (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Can you hear it coming down?
Is it just a passing sound or the calling
Of the fall? (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I meant to make it before
But the making's no good anymore
I meant to make it by now
But the making's no good anyhow

(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)

You've been putting on a mask
And did you take the time to find if the mirror knows
When to lie? (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've been moving real fast
Turning over hourglass after hourglass
Till they're gone (woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I meant to make it before
But the making's no good anymore
I meant to make it by now
But the making's no good anyhow

(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
