Verse 1
It's a simple thing
Losing me would hurt you so deeply
I see it in your ochre eyes
Don't let me be an eyeblink in your endless, sleepless eternity
Please say you want me by your side
Prechorus
Please tell me why
Take my hand and stop all this debating
Please change your mind
The hourglass only offers so much waiting
Chorus
'Cause I'm just one of those grains you see,
Slipping down the neck of the bottle
Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me
etc, etc
