  • There's someone out there waiting for me
    High, mini, fat, skinny, just wait and see
    Don't call me lonely if you are too
    In a big city, take pity, won't make the news
    I'm advancing, nothing to lose
    Go-getter, do better, the right attitude
    Do as I say, not as I do
    Got no money, nobody, to tell you the truth

    When I wake up in the morning
    I don't really want too much
    See this song but as a warning
    'Cause you're too far away to touch

    Eyes on the hourglass
    As we sink into the sand
    Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it
    It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it
    Eyes on the hourglass
    As we sink into the sand
    Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it
    It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it

    So come on, surprise me, I don't care who
    Your step missing, time's ticking, ain't got a clue
    Something I said, the way that I move
    Strong passion, hot passion, too much for you
    Don't complicate this, simple to me
    I've got it, you want it, but it might not come free
    The sun falls slowly, shadows of love
    Get together, now or never, can't wait till dawn

    When I wake up in the morning
    I don't really want too much
    See this song but as a warning
    'Cause you're too far away to touch

    Eyes on the hourglass
    As we sink into the sand
    Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it
    It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it
    Eyes on the hourglass
    As we sink into the sand
    Time's up, there's nothing we can do about it
    It's fine, love, 'cause I know I'mma live without it Writer/s: GUY WILLIAM LAWRENCE, HOWARD JOHN LAWRENCE, JAMES JOHN NAPIER, JILLIAN KRISTIN HERVEY
