Hourglass

I ran away from you today

Hid myself alone amongst the patter and confusion in my head.

Why does it always start this way? 

There I go consuming when I fear I might be losing you again.

The rubble grows and starts to spill,

cracking into smaller bits, I never really noticed it.

But now its scratching at my heels,

Covering the carpet, and I fear that this is all that I will feel.

Hallelujah, send the rain,

just when I was dreadin’ drought was only here to stay.

Wash away the debt I’ve made,

take me out of all of this, convince me I could always live this way.

Calm and still inside the frame,

saw you from the downpour, there was no sound I could make.

Wishing you could call me in.

Wishing is a sentiment, we’re only breathing out and breathing in.

For the hour I’m escaping, for the hour it is true

For the hour it is taking, I am waiting without you 

I saw myself in you today,

Green eyes in the mirror, but our gaze one and the same.

Aching over what we’d change,

Fate and age collide like a rudder making waves

You are my love, my medicine;

I will always choose you from the start of every day.

It’s rough the more we’re falling in,

Living well is losing while refusing to be ruined by the pace

For the hour I’m escaping, for the hour it is true

For the hour it is taking, I am waiting without you 

For the hour I’m escaping, for the hour it is true

For the hour it is taking, I am waiting without you
