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?
