Hourglass Figures

Hourglass Figures

I'm done paying so much attention to what went wrong
As soon as I get the diamond watch
I'm buying the time back.
Girls blue in the face from training their waist
To get the hourglass figure..
I just wanna tilt the sand
To an angle where it sits still

Get real.

Either way it turns it's upside-down..
Wonder if the upside-down side has an upside?
I sit and tinker with the plotline
Till the run time expires
I run in place and argue with myself about the destination.

I keep saying I'm gonna get the ball rolling,
Instead I spin in circles dizzying myself
Until I lose control.
Every door that open 's a revolver..
And it's cocked and loaded.
I got more crosses to bear than I got hands to hold em.
I'm a rolling stone..
You'll sit outside for days still waiting on me to come back home.

For right now, you're looking me dead in the face
And saying "It's OK, we got forever"
But how long can we hold on to "Right Now"
Until "forever" changes?
