Sands Run Slow (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1

Cinderella clock strikes midnight air

Ribbon torn, the room's a haze

Spilled champagne on my bare feet there

One last dance before I walk away

Red exit sign is calling me out

Bare shoulders catch the strobe beam down

Pockets full of broken glass and what-if doubts

Pre-Chorus

Feel the sand running slow through my hands

Feel the whole room turn into one stand

Every stranger holds an open door

I'm not chasing sunrise anymore

Chorus

Sands run slow, let me count them down

Every heartbeat on this crowded ground

Nobody's racing now, nobody's gone

Sands run slow, I'm holding onto this light

Dancing in the amber of this final night

No clocks to chase when every second feels like gold

Verse 2

Pockets full of confetti, wrists hold a time that won't stop

Strangers catching sunlight on their fingers and skin so bright

Candle wax dripping low across your collarbone

One last breath before we walk the street alone

Neon's humming slow in my chest like a low bass hum

Every shadow holds an invitation to run free

I'm not leaving till every single spark is caught

Pre-Chorus

Feel the sand running slow through my hands

Feel the whole room turn into one stand

Every stranger holds an open door

I'm not chasing sunrise anymore

Chorus

Sands run slow, let me count them down

Every heartbeat on this crowded ground

Nobody's racing now, nobody's gone

Sands run slow, I'm holding onto this light

Dancing in the amber of this final night

No clocks to chase when every second feels like gold

Bridge

Not midnight yet, not even close

This is the longest hour I've ever known

Every stranger holds a single thread

I'm not leaving till we're all still together here instead

Chorus

Sands run slow, let me count them down

Every heartbeat on this crowded ground

Nobody's racing now, nobody's gone

Sands run slow, I'm holding onto this light

Dancing in the amber of this final night

No clocks to chase when every second feels like gold
