Hourglass (With Horns) Songtext
von Umphrey’s McGee

It′s just my luck
I open my mouth when I shouldn't speak in
the words that come they never compare to what I should have said
so i get stuck
and nobody cares, its hot air I′m breathin
though I mean well you never could tell me
the message I'm meaning

You're tongue tied like a criminals mind
It′s weighted down where the truth can hide
It slides by through an hourglass frame
it hurts to look but you don′t complain

Whatever keeping your legitimate plans
when the dust had cleared, as you washed your hands
this indecision isn't quite what it seems
but the fact that you spoke is no surprise to me

we′ll make it along with what we've got
cause we got enough


I never said you don′t care
you didn't know the right way
I might′ve said I'd be fair
did you really think I could be?
I always tried to be there
You always knew where to find me
So if I seemed unaware
can we agree just to disagree?

You're tongue tied like a criminals mind
It′s weighted down where the truth can hide
It slides by through an hourglass frame
it hurts to look but you don′t complain

Whatever keeping your legitimate plans
when the dust had cleared, as you washed your hands
this indecision isn't quite what it seems
but the fact that you spoke is no surprise to me

we′ll make it along with what we've got (repeat)
cause we got enough
