[Verse 1]
There's a vacant driveway
In the house where we stayed
Empty rooms we've long outgrown
All the fables I wrote
And all the promises you broke
They linger with the walls stucco
Still waters reside
Running deep alongside
The reservoir that served us well
[Chorus]
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
[Verse 2]
You'd come and gone so soon
Left us both in ruins
Foundations have torn apart
I've never been so alonе
Old souls in the Widows Homes
I see myself as onе of them
But what's the meaning of this
Without your maudlin kiss
Consider this your lullaby
[Chorus]
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
[Outro]
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
There's a vacant driveway
In the house where we stayed
Empty rooms we've long outgrown
All the fables I wrote
And all the promises you broke
They linger with the walls stucco
Still waters reside
Running deep alongside
The reservoir that served us well
[Chorus]
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
[Verse 2]
You'd come and gone so soon
Left us both in ruins
Foundations have torn apart
I've never been so alonе
Old souls in the Widows Homes
I see myself as onе of them
But what's the meaning of this
Without your maudlin kiss
Consider this your lullaby
[Chorus]
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
[Outro]
Thought I could make you stay.
But I can't, I never will
I'd lay that old hourglass
On its side, so time stands still
