Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lost my hat on the hospital stairs
Your laugh said it was just like me
Now the hallway’s just a tunnel of chairs
And a clock that forgot how to breathe
You said
“Don’t you waste one day”
“Time is sand slipping out of your hand”
Now I’m scooping up each stray grain
Trying to build you back again
[Chorus]
Memories in the hourglass
Turning you over
Turning you past
Every grain cuts in my hands
I lost a piece of me when you died
Miss your voice on the other side
You said
“Make it count”
I’m trying
I’m trying
With this shattered heart of mine
[Verse 2]
I still hang up before the beep
Like I’m scared you might pick up
Say you beat that poison beast
Tell me I just woke up
Your sweater on the backroom chair
Still smells like rain and gasoline
I wear it till it thins to air
Like you’re threadbare inside of me
[Chorus]
Memories in the hourglass
Turning you over
Turning you past
Every grain cuts in my hands
I lost a piece of me when you died
Miss your voice on the other side
You said
“Make it count”
I’m trying
I’m trying
With this shattered heart of mine
[Bridge]
If I could crawl back through the hours
Before the scans
Before the charts
I’d hold your hand a little harder
Let every second brand my heart
[Chorus]
Memories in the hourglass
Turning you over
Begging you back
Every grain burns in my hands
I lost a piece of me when you died
But your words keep beating in my spine
You said
“Make it count”
So I’m still here
I’m still loud
Loving you
With this shattered heart of mine (oh-oh)
