Borrowed Time
(Verse 1)
We met on a Tuesday, just passing through
A couple of hearts that were just looking for something new
You said I looked like a dream, I said you seemed right
But deep down we both knew we were only passing the night
We talked about forever, but we both knew it was a lie
We held on to moments that were too hard to define
You said, “Let’s take it slow,” but we were already gone
Chasing something that was never meant to last long
(Pre-Chorus)
We’re just spinning in circles, waiting for the fall
Thinking we could find something, but we’re giving it all
We’re running on borrowed time, burning it bright
Thinking there’s something left, but there’s nothing in sight
(Chorus)
We’re living on borrowed time, just passing the days
Chasing after promises we can’t seem to replace
We thought we had it all, but we were just killing the hours
Now we’ve got nothing, no love, no power
We’re living on borrowed time, wasting it away
Thinking we could make it, but we’re lost in the game we play
(Verse 2)
You’d call me at midnight, I’d answer just to hear
The sound of your voice, but it never felt sincere
We’d laugh about nothing, we’d kiss for the thrill
But we both knew we were standing still
You’d say, “We’ll figure it out,” I’d say, “Yeah, we’re fine”
But deep inside, I knew we were just wasting our time
We were running from something we couldn’t define
Now we’re stuck in this loop, both crossing the line
(Pre-Chorus)
We’re just spinning in circles, waiting for the fall
Thinking we could find something, but we’re giving it all
We’re running on borrowed time, burning it bright
Thinking there’s something left, but there’s nothing in sight
(Chorus)
We’re living on borrowed time, just passing the days
Chasing after promises we can’t seem to replace
We thought we had it all, but we were just killing the hours
Now we’ve got nothing, no love, no power
We’re living on borrowed time, wasting it away
Thinking we could make it, but we’re lost in the game we play
(Bridge)
We keep waiting for something real, but it’s just a dream
We’re both trying to fill a void that can’t be seen
Now the clock’s ticking, and we’ve run out of rhyme
We’re still pretending, but we’re living on borrowed time
(Chorus)
We’re living on borrowed time, just passing the days
Chasing after promises we can’t seem to replace
We thought we had it all, but we were just killing the hours
Now we’ve got nothing, no love, no power
We’re living on borrowed time, wasting it away
Thinking we could make it, but we’re lost in the game we play
(Outro)
We’re living on borrowed time, holding on to the past
Hoping that we’ll find something that’s gonna last
But we both know the truth, deep down in our minds
We’ve got nothing to show for all this borrowed time.
