Spice and Hourglass

Intro

(Oh-oh)

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Salt on my tongue from the wind off the bay

I count the grains in my palm

You said the summer would stay

It packed its bag and it's gone

Pre-Chorus

I flip the glass

Watch the sand fall

I flip the glass

Chorus

Spice and hourglass

You were cinnamon and hurry

Spice and hourglass

Sweet then gone in such a flurry

Every grain a little ache

Every pinch a little burn

Spice and hourglass

You never once returned

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na

(Spice and hourglass)

Verse 2

I grind the pepper till my knuckles go red

Tiny fire in the bowl

You taught me bitter could be tender instead

Now I season it alone

Pre-Chorus

I flip the glass

Watch the sand fall

I flip the glass

Chorus

Spice and hourglass

You were cinnamon and hurry

Spice and hourglass

Sweet then gone in such a flurry

Every grain a little ache

Every pinch a little burn

Spice and hourglass

You never once returned

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na

(Spice and hourglass)

Bridge

Turn it over

Turn it over

Time keeps sliding sideways

Turn it over

Turn it over

I keep both hands open

Breakdown

Chorus

Spice and hourglass

You were cinnamon and hurry

Spice and hourglass

Sweet then gone in such a flurry

Every grain a little ache

Every pinch a little burn

Spice and hourglass

You never once returned

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na
