Distin - Hourglass Lyrics

On the day we said our yeses
We had a weird guest
He gave us an hourglass
And said it was a test
Then he disappeared without a trace
And the sand was already falling
Was the sand our time, or was it meaningless
We had no way of knowing

I will never die
For anyone
Except you and I
Except you and I
But I'll keep staring at
The time that's running out
For the two of us
No, I will never stop
Staring at our hourglass

Does it count seconds or minutes
Till we reach our limits
Do we just think that it will end
Do we really know what happens
When the time runs out
Or can we turn it again
Can we turn it again
So we keep staring at the time
Scared that it will run out
But we don't think we're wasting time
Watching time
Of you and I

I will never die
For anyone
Except you and I
Except you and I
But I'll keep staring at
The time that's running out
For the two of us
No, I will never stop
Staring at our hourglass

Are we stuck in it?
Are we drowning in quicksand
Are we spiraling down?
God, when will this end
Maybe we were worried for nothing
And it's a beautiful death
Dying there with you
In the pile of sand

I will never die
For anyone
Except you and I
Except you and I
But I'll keep staring at
The time that's running out
For the two of us
No, I will never stop
Staring at our hourglass

Then one day you knocked it over
It fell on the ground and broke
We thought that it was over
That we'd disappear in a smoke
But nothing actually happened
And we realised that
That
We wasted our time
So many hours
Are gone, they just went by
While we were looking at the sand
Thinking it was our time
While actual time went by
We'll never know what happens
When it's over
You knocked it over and it broke
And it made our minds sober

I will never die
Without you by my side
I refuse to lose more time
After what we did
I'm now not staring at
The time we have left
Cause I actually don't know
What's left for us
Cause we lost our hourglass

We never needed our hourglass
We never needed our hourglass

Cause it meant nothing for us
