Hourglass Lyrics

Time travelling, moving at the speed of light
Moments we are gathering are the key to life
Your picture in a frame takes me to a place and time
When I saw the future with your hand in mines

And you'll know
You'll know when I give you everything
Everything I am
And we'll go
We'll go together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home

I can't help it if I'm wondering
Is it all just make-belief?
Everything that we've been through
Always you and me

Is it so?
Is it so, when I ask myself
"Could this be a dream?"
We'll know
We'll know together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home

And my love,
It doesn't matter where we are
I lay down low, for all I am
Is all we'll be

You'll know
Yes, you'll know
When I give you everything
Everything I am
And we'll go
We'll go together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home

Together hand-in-hand
Slipping through the hourglass home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
