The hand of time has brushed across our skin Left fingerprints of rust on everything Some candy memories grew hard and stale Some empty chairs still wear the names we fail We used to taste the sugar of the day Now the jar is cracked, the sweetness slipped away Faces missing from the photograph Echoes where the laughter used to laugh And the hardest cut ain’t the final door It’s the endless leaving… leaving… more and more So hold your people like the clock’s about to stop Kiss them like the hourglass just dropped Nobody knows the day, nobody knows the hour Wrap your arms around the ones you love Tell them while the blood still moves Before the hand of time decides it’s through Some of us are already ghosts in the room Breathing air that used to be perfume We keep saying “see you soon” like it’s a shield But every goodbye is a little more revealed Treat this breath as if it’s the last one shared Treat this night as if the light won’t dare Return… return… Because the hand that touched us once Will touch us all again Hold your people like the clock’s about to stop Kiss them like the hourglass just dropped Nobody knows the day, nobody knows the hour Wrap your arms around the ones you love Tell them while the blood still moves Before the hand of time decides it’s through Embrace… Assure… Love… While there is still time.
