[Verse 1: CG5 & David Archuleta]
I wish I was poetic
So I could write a better song
To convey what's in my genetics
But I keep going the wrong way
I can be so pathetic and apathetic
It's hypothetic
So call the paramedics (Ayy, a-ayy)
I'm hallucinogenic, yeah (Ayy, a-ayy)
Ooh

[Chorus: CG5, David Archuleta & Kathy-chan]
I don't understand, I don't understand
Hourglass sand slippin' through my hand (Ugh)
Tell me, anyone, what is it I've done?
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter (Uh-huh)
I don't understand (Oh), I don't understand
Hourglass sand slippin' through my hand (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
So tell me, anyone, what is it I've done? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It doesn't matter

[Verse 2: David Archuleta & CG5]
I wish I was poetic
Don't know what to say
I'm always, always in my way
Weighed down without a reason
I need a happy place (Ah)
But this isn't pain that I want replacеd (Ah)
And I gotta break up from this rat race
No rhyme I'll rеwrite tonight
Won't stop runnin' with it
Wait a minute
[Chorus: David Archuleta, CG5, Kathy-chan, David Archuleta & CG5]
I don't understand, I don't understand
Hourglass sand slippin' through my hand (Ugh)
Tell me, anyone, what is it I've done?
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter (Uh-huh)
I don't understand, I don't understand
Hourglass sand is slippin' through my hand (Ugh)
So tell me, anyone, what have I done?
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter

[Post-Chorus: CG5 & David Archuleta]
Uh, uh-oh-oh-oh
Yea-ah, ah-eah, ah-eah
Just another thought to throw away
Just another thought to throw away

[Bridge: CG5, David Archuleta, CG5 & David Archuleta, & Kathy-chan]
In the consternation (Ah)
I look at the constellations (Ah)
To avoid all the constant fiction (Ah)
Mental, emotional competition
Just another thought to throw away (Wait)

[Chorus: CG5 & David Archuleta]
I don't understand (Hey), I don't understand (Ayy)
Hourglass sand (Ayy) slippin' through my hand (Uh)
So tell me, anyone (Uh), what is it I've done? (Uh)
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter (Uh-uh-uh)
I don't understand (Ooh), I don't understand (Ooh)
Hourglass sand (Ooh) is slippin' through my hand (Uh)
So tell me, anyone (Uh), what have I done? (Uh)
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter (Uh-uh-uh)
[Outro: CG5 & Kathy-chan]
Doesn't matter (Uh-huh)
(Just another thought to throw away)
(Just another thought to throw away) (Uh-huh)
