[hook] [Chorus] I’m living on borrowed time, Dancing with echoes I can’t leave behind, I turn the world back, but it still won’t rewind, I save every soul but mine. Oh, I’m lost in the space between, What could have been and what I’ve seen, Holding the end like a broken sign, I’m living on borrowed time. [Verse 1] I watched the sky fall over towers made of gold, Heard a thousand prayers turn silent in the cold, I reached into the river where the moments flow, But time can take you places you were never meant to go. Faces in the glass, they keep calling out my name, Every road I walk bends back into the same, I can see tomorrow, but I’m haunted by before, Every second saved just leaves me wanting more. [Pre-Chorus] I keep counting every heartbeat, Trying to outrun goodbye, But the hands around the clock face Never learned to lie. [Chorus] I’m living on borrowed time, Dancing with echoes I can’t leave behind, I turn the world back, but it still won’t rewind, I save every soul but mine. Oh, I’m lost in the space between, What could have been and what I’ve seen, Holding the end like a broken sign, I’m living on borrowed time. [Post-Chorus] Tick-tock, tick-tock, Can you hear me through the years? Tick-tock, tick-tock, I’m still standing here. [Verse 2] I’ve seen kings rise up just to fall into sand, Watched empires crumble in the palm of my hand, I’ve held back death with a whisper and a spark, But I still can’t bring the light back to the dark. There’s a boy in the past with wonder in his eyes, Before the war, before the ruins, before the cries, I reach for him, but the vision disappears, Like dust in the gears after all these years. [Pre-Chorus] I keep breaking every hourglass, Still the ashes fall, I can bend the laws of time, But I can’t change it all. [Chorus] I’m living on borrowed time, Dancing with echoes I can’t leave behind, I turn the world back, but it still won’t rewind, I save every soul but mine. Oh, I’m lost in the space between, What could have been and what I’ve seen, Holding the end like a broken sign, I’m living on borrowed time. [Bridge – Cinematic build, choir rising] If I could steal one final second, I’d spend it where the silence broke, Before the bells became a warning, Before the stars fell into smoke. I carry the weight of forever, Every future, every grave, But even a god of the hour Can’t always save the day. [Final Chorus – Bigger, emotional, orchestral drums] I’m living on borrowed time, Dancing with ghosts at the edge of the line, I turn the world back, but it still won’t rewind, I save every soul but mine. Oh, I’m lost in the space between, The man I was and the end I’ve seen, Holding the clock like a warning sign, I’m living on borrowed time. [Outro – Soft ticking fading] Tick-tock, tick-tock, The years all disappear, Tick-tock, tick-tock, But I’m still here. Tick-tock, tick-tock, I tried to change the sky, Tick-tock, tick-tock, But time won’t say goodbye.
