Hourglass

You say it's hard to say no
 These emotions that your hold give you no control
 Your on auto-pilot taking where you need to go
 But baby don't leave I don't want to let you go
 These thoughts go by so fast while dreaming of days that would never last
 Now I find my way back to this home we made
 It's like all the things I try to say just came out the wrong way
 But I'll keep trying until you hear me
 ♪
 What will it take? What will it take
 To get your attention now? It won't be long
 No, it won't be long. Baby I'll show you
 That if your heart speaks too,
 Listen to what it's been saying to you.
 What will it take to get your attention?
 Baby it won 't be long.
 Looking back I never thought this through
 All the days I spent with you just ended being a waste our time
 It's like the clock ticks as we talk
 And now we're just counting the minutes as they pass by
 These thoughts go by so fast while dreaming of days that I would never last
 Now I find my way back to this home we made
 It's like all the things I try to say just came out the wrong way
 I'll keep trying until you hear me
 What will it take? What will it take
 To get your attention now? It won't be long
 No, it won't be long. Baby I'll show you
 That if your heart speaks too,
 Then listen to what it's been saying to you.
 What will it take to get your attention?
 Baby it won 't be long.
 You got me all mixed up girl
 You got me all torn down
 But I'll never run away from
 This true love I found
 It wont be long
 Until you see the thing that we can be
 It wont be long before you start to think back and dream of me
 Baby I'm not wrong
 I know you can if you just believe
 It wont be long I can show you that
 I'm not wrong
 What will it take to get your attention?
 Baby it won't be long,
 But if you can learn to be patient
 I'll show you that I'm not wrong
 And though your heart speaks too,
 Just listen to what it's been saying to you.
 If these words fall undetected
 Then my heart beats for no one
