Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Hourglass > Lyrics


    It's just my luck
    I open my mouth when I shouldn't speak
    And the words that come they never compare to what I should've 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 criminal's mind
    It's weighted down where the truth can't hide
    It slides by through an hourglass frame
    Yeah it hurts to look but you don't complain
    Whatever came of your legitimate plans?
    When the dust had cleared had 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 got
    We'll make it along with what we got
    We'll make it along with what we got
    ‘Cause we got enough

    I never said you don't care
    You didn't know the right way
    I might have said I'd been 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
    Could we agree just to disagree?

    You're tongue tied like a criminal's mind
    It's weighted down where the truth can't hide
    It slides by through an hourglass frame
    Yeah it hurts to look but you don't complain
    Whatever came of your legitimate plans?
    When the dust had cleared had 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 got
    We'll make it along with what we got
    We'll make it along with what we got
    ‘Cause we got enough
