Quicksand fallin' through my hands
You’ve been on my mind almost every night
And it’s killing me slowly
The way that you control the time
And my whole life, I’ve been waiting for you to say that you’ll be mine

Hmm
Be mine
Hmm

I stay 'round waiting for you tryna figure out what’s the move
But, you never call til' half past 2
It’s like, boy what do you want me to do with that?
It’s late now, I’m through with that, ooh

I’m always on standby and I really don’t know why
It’s so sickening the way I keep giving in to you ooh

Ooh

It’s that quicksand that keeps fallin' through my hands
It’s covering up my feet
You know I can't leave
Even if I wanted to
I don’t know what to do
Standby doing anything to pass the time
It’s not right
You should by my side

Next time you come thru, gonna
Flip the hourglass around and reverse the time for mе and you
