Hourglass

Marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me,
Marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me

I count my days, days, days, like they're numbered,
And you try to look away, look away but I'm like a beacon
If I'd turn into a landscape, Lord make me a tundra.
Make me an hourglass, make me a strummer.

I keep buying plants, I keep buying blankets,
I keep buying anything that makes me feel at home,
I keep making plans always thinking I can't hack it,
Thinking I'd do anything to feel less alone.

But please, please, don't raise your voice to me,
I'll come back to you, I'll come back to the sea,
When the stars start blowing down like the wind at my feet
I'll marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me.

Saw you light the fire from the other side of the mountain,
Swear I head your voice, heard your voice like a beacon,
I left the shelter, Lord, give my soul to somewhere certain,
Make me an hourglass, and give me a curtain.

I keep buying plants, I keep buying blankets,
I keep buying anything that makes me feel at home,
I keep making plans always thinking I can't hack it,
Thinking I'd do anything to feel less alone.

But please, please, don't raise your voice to me,
I'll come back to you, I'll come back to the sea,
When the stars start blowing down like the wind at my feet
I'll marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me.

I'll marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me.
I'll marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me.

But please, please, don't raise your voice to me,
I'll come back to you, I'll come back to the sea,
When the stars start blowing down like the wind at my feet
I'll marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me.

I'll marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me.
I'll marry the man, I'll marry the man who gives this to me.
