We wake beneath a borrowed sky, Breathing seconds passing by. Every shadow, every sign Whispers softly: “This time is not mine.” We chase the glitter, chase the gold, Trade tomorrow to feel control. But mirrors crack and seasons bend, And every clock ticks toward the end. ... Time… Measured time… Slipping through our hands tonight… Time… Measured time… Fading in the morning light… ... We are living on measured time, Every heartbeat draws the line. Hold the ones who hold you tight, Love is louder than the fight. We are more than what will shine, Gold turns dust in measured time. If this moment’s all we own, Let it echo when we’re gone. ... Photographs and fragile skin, Wars we lose and wars we win. All the words we never say Turn to silence anyway. What if now is all we get? No rewind, no safety net. Every breath — a fleeting flame, Every life — a passing name. ... Time… Measured time… Hear it calling from inside… Time… Measured time… Don’t let love be left behind… ... We are living on measured time, Every heartbeat draws the line. Hold the ones who hold you tight, Love is louder than the fight. We are more than what will shine, Gold turns dust in measured time. If this moment’s all we own, Let it echo when we’re gone… ... No treasure shines like human eyes. No empire outlives lullabies. The richest soul is mercy shown. The truest wealth is not alone. Then why do we wait? ... We are living on measured time, Every heartbeat draws the line. Hold the ones who hold you tight, Love is louder than the fight. We are more than what will shine, Gold turns dust in measured time. If this moment’s all we own, Let it echo — Let it echo — Let it echo when we’re gone.
