Hourglass When You’re Here

[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall
Dragging its feet when you’re gone
Hands barely move
Every minute feels too long
I check my phone
Like it might bend the day
Empty room echo
Nothing pulling me away
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep staring at the ceiling
Tryna fast forward this feeling
Every second’s heavy when you’re not near
[Chorus]
Time slows down when you’re not here
Feels like hours in a minute
Every heartbeat clear
But when I’m with you
It all disappears
Weekend in a second
Whole night in a blink
You’re my hourglass when you’re here
You’re my hourglass when you’re here
[Verse 2]
Side of your bed
Still has the shape where you lay
Mug in the sink
Lipstick print hasn’t washed away
I replay your laugh
Through a voice note on repeat
Stuck in the hallway
Where we used to meet
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep pacing through the kitchen
Counting tiles
Counting wishes
Wanna hit fast forward till you’re right here
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
When you pull up
When you smile (yeah)
Whole world hits fast-forward
Wild
Sun goes down
Then it’s already dawn
“How is it late?” with the TV on
[low vocal register] Lose whole hours in your eyes
[falsetto] Blink and another day flies
If I gotta choose how the clock moves
Slow it when I’m next to you
[Chorus]

pop, Shiny mid-tempo pop with bright synth pads, clean electric guitar chops, and crisp drums. Verses keep it tight and conversational, pre-chorus adds rising toms and pads, chorus explodes with stacked male vocals and a big sidechain synth bed. Bridge strips to claps and bass before a final chorus lift with extra ad-libs and octave doubles., slow
