i see the sand fall through my hand a subtle picture quiet reminder we re staring through this hour glass when will it run out when will we run out we ve learned to build our castles out of sand for so long so temporary i watch them tumble down it s time to let it go turn back the hand to the beginning wouldn t it be nice give it some more time bury yourself under the blanket how do we slow down how do we walk when we re supposed to run surround ourselves with plastic bonds it give us comfort comfort in numbers these monuments will always stand our lonely temples lean too we ll all fall try to appreciate what little time we have let s slow it down life s so uncertain we lay our brother s down it s time to let it go turn back the hand to the beginning wouldn t it be nice give it some more time bury yourself under the blanket how do we slow down how do we walk when we re supposed to run don t let life pass you by tonight brace inside brace yourself this time now i know it s time to let it go turn back those hands to the beginning wouldn t it be nice give it some more time bury yourself under the blanket how do we slow down how do we walk when we re supposed to run
