Sands of time
We make this wish on you
Ask you to approve of this

Our love

It is our darkest hour

It is our coldest war
We are in for the night
And begging for a little more


But all I know now
Is oh, so many ways

We fall apart and break up
Turn around then make up


And all I hope for
Is oh, so many more
The chances running out with you

As you run out the door

Let us share something responsibly

The blame's on you
But it is on me, too


And just like little children
Pulling on the ropes
We try to gain a little ground

And throw each other in the dirt

But all I know now

Is oh, so many ways
We fall apart and break up
Turn around then make up


And all I hope for
Is oh, so many more

The chances running out with you
As you run out the door


So much for us fighting for what's right
It's tooth, it's nail
It's bark and worse it's bite


And if it's understood
That we both play a part

We are the victims of a love
Subtly destroying us


But all I know now
Is oh, so many ways
We fall apart and break up

Turn around then make up

And all I hope for

Is for so many more
The chances running out with you
As you run out the door
