The Hourglass

Am I more than The Hourglass?
Sand running out, sand falling fast
Slipping through my fingers, away to the past
Spend my time trying to make it last
Am I more than The Hourglass?

So much pressure on a second that it crumbles away
Five minute conversation, think about it for days
I tend to wonder why I say the things I say
Stare at the clock, wasting time away

Am I more than The Hourglass?
Sand running out, sand falling fast
Slipping through my fingers, away to the past
Spend my time trying to make it last
Am I more than The Hourglass?

The hours are long, but the days are short
We count the minutes, then we beg for more
We kill time and wonder why it dies
Guess it's in our nature to deny

Am I more than The Hourglass?
Sand running out, sand falling fast
Slipping through my fingers, away to the past
Spend my time trying to make it last
Am I more than The Hourglass?

How can I make the most out of these seconds
that I've been handed before I plain run out?

Do you ever look around and just wonder why?
We follow the pattern, walk the narrow line
When we look back, what will we see?
Only a shadow of who we wished we could be

If I pave a road on the map
If I leave a light on the path
If I never let go of the love I have
Am I more than the Hourglass?
