Akihiro Nishimura - The Hourglass Lyrics

[ELLIE]
I don't need to live all large
I just like to be in charge
Of things I do and eat and how I dress

[KATHERINE]
Oh my dear, I wish you knew
All the work I have to do
Just to keep you in your munchies and your mess

[ELLIE flips the hourglass defiantly.]

[ELLIE, KATHERINE]
If you knew what I go through If you knew what I go through
Worked a day in my old shoes Worked a day in grown-up shoes
Well, then maybe you would see You should see all of the
And you would just say yes Reasons why I can't say yes

[ELLIE and KATHERINE both grab hold of the hourglass. It starts to glow.]

[ELLIE]
If you knew what I go through
How it's hellishly unfair

[KATHERINE]
Oh, I'd love to be in school
Have a day without a care
[ELLIE, KATHERINE]
How I wish you'd understand
And see the world my way

[ELLIE]
For just one day!

[KATHERINE]
For just one day!

[ELLIE]
For just one day!

[KATHERINE]
For just one day!

[ELLIE]
For just

[ELLIE, KATHERINE]
One day...
