The Sands of Time
O.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hours pass
The weeks turn into months
And I'm still alone
Wondering when I'll see you

Still I watch the hourglass
The symbol of our love
When we were so sure
Our love would be everlasting

What changed your mind
We are the sands of time
Only sands of time
Don't ever run out on me

Time is loneliness
When you're not around
But I continue
Turnin' the hourglass upside till I see you

And whatever life brings my way
I'm always gonna know one thing
With you I'll always share all my love
Nothing can change it because we're bound by the sands of time

I won't change my mind
(No, I won't)
We are the sands of time

Only sands of time
(Ooh, baby)
Don't ever run out on me

Thought time had run out
I almost hope
(No, don't)

It's hard to keep the faith
Oh, but if you believe
You can make almost anything you ever want come true
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And I'll wait for you, baby
(You know I want you, baby)
And if we believe, it will only come true
(Mmm, mmm)

I won't change my mind
(It's so lonely when you're not around)
We are the sands of time
(Turn the hourglass upside down)

Only sands of time
(We won't ever, never, never)
Don't ever run out on me
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

I won't change my mind
(Oh, oh, oh)
We are the sands of time
(Bound by the sand of time)

Only sands of time
(The sands of time)
Don't ever run out on me





Believe we always come together in the sands of time

Overall Meaning

The song "The Sands of Time" by O.P. is a ballad about a love that has come to a standstill. The lyrics portray the singer's longing for their lover who has seemed to have lost interest in the relationship, leaving the singer alone and wondering when they will see their lover again. The hourglass is used to symbolize the fleeting nature of time and the transience of love. The singer watches the hourglass, hoping that their love will come back to them before the sands of time run out. The lyrics suggest that time is an agonizing experience when the singer is not around their lover. The singer's faith in the relationship is tested, but they believe that their love will come back to them because they are bound by the sands of time.


The first verse of the song sets the tone for the ballad with the lyrics, "Hours pass the weeks turn into months, and I'm still alone wondering when I'll see you." The verse establishes the theme of the song's lyrics, which is the passing of time and the longing for the return of the singer's love. The second verse of the song reveals that the hourglass is the symbol of their love and that their love has fizzled out. The singer is questioning what caused the relationship to end and if it can be fixed. The lyrics are poignant and reveal the singer's vulnerability and brokenheartedness. The chorus repeats "We are the sands of time, only sands of time. Don't ever run out on me," highlighting the importance of time in their relationship and the need to keep their love from slipping away.

Turn the hourglass upside down
Try to make time go faster


We won't ever, never, never
We won't ever leave each other


Bound by the sand of time
Our love is unbreakable


The sands of time
Our relationship and love


Believe we always come together in the sands of time
We will always find a way back to each other
