These thin strips of memories roll right through my hands
Each moment's like a grain trapped in an hourglass
Trespassing through these rusted locks
I find myself in a treasury of memories
Wondering to myself how it is we got
To where we are, what a wild journey
So we take one
Just to keep close when it gets tough
Take another
To remind me of all the love
These thin strips of memories roll right through my hands
Each moment's like a grain trapped in an hourglass
And with every passing frame, I understand
We can't take it for granted, better make this last
So we'll trespass through each country
Let's fill that treasury until it falls
With monuments and cities, such history
Makes me want to record it all
So we take one
Raising my hands in victory
Take another
To remind me this is all we need
These thin strips of memories roll right through my hands
Each moment's like a grain trapped in an hourglass
And with every passing frame, I embrace what's passed
We can only embrace now as long as we can
So we keep on
Raising my hands in victory
Hourglass be damned
We'll go as long as we can breathe
So we keep on
Filling up that treasury
Until we can't stand
And collapse with a sense of peace
