[Verse 1]
The clock on the wall is a thief in the night
It’s stealing the gold from your eyes in the light
The world is in a hurry, it’s racing outside
But here in this hallway, there’s nowhere to hide
I’ll catch every second, I’ll hold every grain
To keep you from washing away in the rain.
[Chorus]
Oh, don’t you age, my darling, don’t move
There’s nothing out there that we need to prove
Let the sun set forever, let the stars lose their glow
As long as the hourglass decides not to flow
I’m the glass, you’re the sand, stay right in my hand
In our little kingdom where time’s at a stand.
[Verse 2]
They say that the future is bright and it’s wide
But I like the way that you look by my side
Right here in the silence, before it all breaks
Before we have birthdays and all their mistakes
I’ll glue down the shadows, I’ll silence the chime
I’m committing a robbery, stealing our time.
[Bridge]
(Vocal crescendo – estilo Sia)
And if the morning comes to wake us
I’ll tell the dawn it cannot take us
I’ll break the gears, I’ll snap the springs
I’ll clip the feathers of the seconds’ wings.
[Chorus]
So don’t you age, my darling, don’t move
There’s nothing out there that we need to prove
Let the sun set forever, let the stars lose their glow
As long as the hourglass decides not to flow
I’m the glass, you’re the sand, stay right in my hand
In our little kingdom where time’s at a stand.
(Outro: Piano vai ficando cada vez mais lento)
Grain by grain...
Stay the same...
Don't move...
Stay.
