Borrowed Time

The clock was always ticking, but I never heard the sound

I filled my days with everything that never stayed around

I thought the years were endless, like the sky that never fades

But time is just a visitor, and every heartbeat pays

I thought I had tomorrow

Until tomorrow disappeared

We're living on borrowed time

Every minute is a promise

Every breath a fleeting moment

That we never truly own

We're living on borrowed time

Hold the ones who stand beside you

Let your heart break open wider

Before the chance is gone

I chased a world of answers that were never worth the race

Ignoring all the simple things I should have held in place

Your laughter in the kitchen, all the nights you waited up

I traded what was priceless for a future no one touched

I thought that what I wanted

Would still be there in the end

We're living on borrowed time

Every minute is a promise

Every breath a fleeting moment

That we never truly own

We're living on borrowed time

Hold the ones who stand beside you

Let your heart break open wider

Before the chance is gone

If I could take the hours

And place them in your hands

I'd give you all the moments

That slipped right through my plans

We're living on borrowed time

Don't wait for some perfection

Don't let days turn into memories

You wish you could reclaim

We're living on borrowed time

So love with every heartbeat

And speak before the silence

Takes the words you meant to say
