Hourglass

Does it make your heart beat fast?
Turning over hourglass after hourglass
'Till they're gone

Staring at a faded map
Never stopped to clear a path
Now you're walking alone

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

Are you staying up all night
Staring at a candlelight
That flickers 'till the dawn?

Can you hear it coming down?
Is it just a passing sound
Or a calling of the fall?

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

You've been putting on a mask
Did you take the time to find
If the mirror knows when to lie?

I've been moving real fast
Turning over hourglass after hourglass
'Till they're gone

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
