[Verse 1] Got a win in my pocket And it still feels wrong Every good thing I touch Gets taken too long I caught a lucky break Then it slipped out my hand Like the sky keeps nodding But it won't let me land [Pre-Chorus] I laugh when I should cry That's how I survive Got honey on my tongue But no place to bite Every door swings open Just enough to show What I could have held Then lets me go [Chorus] Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (It don't stay) Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (It don't stay) Every sweet thing finds me Then it fades away Life keeps teasing my hands With a game I can't play [Verse 2] Saw two lovers dancing In a grocery aisle She looked at me like I might stay a while Then my phone lit up With a message from home Good news, bad timing I'm still walking alone I got a raise, a chair, a key A place by the door But the room was full of laughter That wasn't mine anymore [Pre-Chorus] I wear a small grin Like it's part of my skin But inside I'm asking Why does this always begin With a taste of forever On a paper cup Just enough to hold me Never enough [Chorus] Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (It don't stay) Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (It don't stay) Every sweet thing finds me Then it fades away Life keeps teasing my hands With a game I can't play [Bridge] Maybe I'm not cursed Maybe I'm just near To all the pretty things I was never made to keep here So I stand in the doorway Let the feeling pass through If I can't own the joy Let it still be true [Final Chorus] Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (It don't stay) Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (It don't stay) Every sweet thing finds me Then it fades away Life keeps teasing my hands With a game I can't play Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (Still I stay) Borrowed sun, borrowed sun (Still I stay) If I can't hold the light Let it touch me anyway Life keeps teasing my hands With a game I can't play
