[Intro – soft, rubato] We were born… In the quiet of a morning sky… Time… slipping by… [Verse 1] We were born in the quiet of a morning sky Didn’t know the years were already passing by Running through the days like they would never end Counting dreams instead of what we spend [Verse 2] Now the mirror shows a stranger in the light Every step just fades into the night All the little things we thought would always stay Drift like dust, then fade away [Chorus] We’re living on borrowed time Tracing moments we could never hold in place We were raised, we were married, we tried But life flies by like a shadow on your eye Yeah, it slips through your hands every time We’re just holding on to borrowed time [Bridge] If all we are is seconds in the sun I’ll spend mine with you till they’re done In the fading light, in between You’re the closest thing to eternity I’ve seen [Final Chorus] We’re living on borrowed time Tracing moments we could never hold in place But your hand in mine makes it feel like it’s mine Even shadows shine when I see your face Yeah it all disappears down the line So I’ll love you like it’s borrowed time [Outro – sax solo, fade] We were born… we were raised… Just a spark in a passing flame…
