None of us asked for an hourglass
What a difference a day can make
There's so much joy as we tell your folks
But this bleeding changes everything
The hospital in your hometown is slow on New Year's Day
And as I'm trying to calm us down, they're sending me away
I could not wait with you
There's a Starbucks across the street
There I will wait for you
And I'm praying so anxiously
None of us asked for an hourglass
What a difference a week can make
We're flying home, only five days late
And there's snow covering everything
We're sleeping in, we're making out, we call in sick all week
And I am trying to tie a knot on all the grief we've seen
We're sleeping in, we're making out, we call in sick all week
And I am trying to tie a knot on all the grief we've seen
Still I will wait with you
For a promise we both can see
And I will build with you
A house where our kids can sleep
And a garden where we can breathe
