lyrics

Watching the world from my window
Chasing the sun with my eyes
An invisible enemy hangs in the air and
Is holding me hostage inside

Watching the world from my window
The slow growth of grass and new leaves
The flora and fauna ain’t thinking
About who or who not to believe

Just say one word
I can understand
Everything is falling down faster
Than grains of hourglass sand

Watching the world from my window
The trucks and the sirens pass by
The sounds screaming out strike terror
I send up a prayer with a sigh

Watching the world from my window
Can’t remember when I last saw you
Your face in the screen loses meaning
When so much is coming unglued

Just say one word
I can understand
Everything is falling down faster
Than grains of hourglass sand

If I had known that the last time
Was the last time we’d ever have
I would have savoured each second
Knowing it would soon be past

Just say one word
I can understand
Everything is falling down faster
Than grains of hourglass sand

Just say one word
I can understand
Everything is falling down faster
Than grains of hourglass sand
Hourglass sand
Hourglass sand

Watching the world through my window
Chasing the sun with my eyes
