It's a simple thing
Losing me would hurt you so deeply
I see it in your ocher eyes

Don't let me be an eye blink
In you endless, sleepless eternity
You know you want me by your side


Please tell me why
Take my hand and stop all this debating

Please change your mind
The hourglass only offers so much waiting


Because I'm just one of those grains you see
Slipping down the neck of the bottle
Soon the top will be empty

And you'll be out of me

It's the hardest thing

There are too many Forks here in my road
Which is the path that I should choose
Inside my heart the answer's

Glinting, hinting, waiting for me to see
The road less traveled leads to you


Please tell me why
Take my hand and stop all this debating
Please change your mind

The hourglass only offers so much waiting

Because I'm just one of those grains you see

Slipping down the neck of the bottle
Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me


Here in our meadow
I see you as you really are

Out of the shadows
You are my shining star
(X2)


Because I'm just one of those grains you see
Slipping down the neck of the bottle

Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me


You're picturesque
Then there's me I'm always such a mess
That never makes you love me less

You offer me protection
When all I want is preservation
Please make the time stand still for me


Because I'm just one of those grains you see
Slipping down the neck of the bottle

Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me
