The clock was always ticking, but I never heard the sound I filled my days with everything that never stayed around I thought the years were endless, like the sky that never fades But time is just a visitor, and every heartbeat pays I thought I had tomorrow Until tomorrow disappeared We’re living on borrowed time Every minute is a promise Every breath a fleeting moment That we never truly own We’re living on borrowed time Hold the ones who stand beside you Let your heart break open wider Before the chance is gone I chased a world of answers that were never worth the race Ignoring all the simple things I should have held in place Your laughter in the kitchen, all the nights you waited up I traded what was priceless for a future no one touched I thought that what I wanted Would still be there in the end We’re living on borrowed time Every minute is a promise Every breath a fleeting moment That we never truly own We’re living on borrowed time Hold the ones who stand beside you Let your heart break open wider Before the chance is gone If I could take the hours And place them in your hands I'd give you all the moments That slipped right through my plans We’re living on borrowed time Don’t wait for some perfection Don’t let days turn into memories You wish you could reclaim We’re living on borrowed time So love with every heartbeat And speak before the silence Takes the words you meant to say
