Borrowed Time

[BACK TO LYRICS LIST]

Doctor’s office, vinyl chair
Clock ticks loud like it knows I’m scared
He says months, not years, not long
I nod my head, then I drive home wrong
Radio plays a song I used to love
I turn it up like it’s almost enough
I thought I’d have tomorrows lined up neat
Turns out forever’s got cold feet

I’ve been living on borrowed time, borrowed light
Some days wrong, but some days right
Loved too hard and I stayed too long
Still sang every word of my favorite song
If this is the end, I’m alright tonight
I was here, I tried
On borrowed time, borrowed light

I made mistakes, yeah, I know I did
Said goodbye when I should’ve stayed in it
But I laughed loud and I loved my friends
Burned a few bridges, built ‘em up again
I ain’t asking heaven for a miracle
Just a little bit of peace when it gets difficult
Left some words hanging in the air
Hope the ones I love can still feel me there

If you’re listening, don’t wait like me
Say the things you’re scared to speak
Hold ’em close, let go of that pride
Life’s too short to let the love slide

I’ve been living on borrowed time, borrowed light
I see it all clearer every night
No regrets I can’t forgive
I lived this life the best I did
When the dark comes, don’t you cry
I was here, I tried
On borrowed time, borrowed light

Just borrowing a little light
I’m alright
I was here
