Contextual Analysis of "Hourglass" in Lyrics

start

remember how i said i'd miss you?

start

remember how i said i'd miss you?

jenny shouldn't we be getting together

but i'm taking my time

she can't live like they live but each day she sits there and tries

so are the days of our wives

there's a new day tomorrow

feel and trust your inner voice

I try but cannot look away

But glossies fade

waste one breath

and don't let it fall

cause you're too far away to touch

as we sink into the sand

watch you

sometimes

and when the mess dried up you came up singing

we can make time stop

i have to

the sun might be setting here really soon

i have to

the sun might be setting here really soon

start

take me by the hand

the years drift by

misused time

this is for life

searching for the moment to decide

and the purple grains of sand

convincing me i've little time for sleeping

it's pleasant but unkind

round and around

chained to a floor

life in a sack

no more dreams to sell

there's no more lies for you to tell

take another drink

to the glory
