I been living off minutes I ain’t earned yet Breathing in dreams with interest I wake up tired of futures I chased Hands full of plans, still stuck in place Screens keep telling me who to be But none of them look like me I rent my time, I trade my days For promises that always say “someday” I circle goals like satellites Close enough to feel the light If I slow down, will the world forget my name? Or will I finally hear my own voice say it? I’m living on borrowed tomorrows Spending tonight like it’s owed If I keep running from now I’ll never get home Borrowed tomorrows Stacked like dreams on a shelf If I don’t choose this moment Someone else will I been rich in ideas, broke in belief Dressed in potential, walking on feet That know the road but fear the turn Still got lessons I refuse to learn Every clock tick sound like a dare Every mirror asking if I’m really there I don’t need more time to pretend I need this second to bend What if the prize ain’t waiting ahead What if it’s here instead I’m living on borrowed tomorrows Spending tonight like it’s owed If I keep running from now I’ll never get home Borrowed tomorrows Stacked like dreams on a shelf If I don’t choose this moment Someone else will I put the future down for a minute Just to see where I’m standing
