[Intro] (Spacey synth pads, warm Rhodes, gentle sabar percussion) Yeah... We both know we're moving on tomorrow. Different flights, different cities. But tonight... tonight is ours. [Verse 1] Met you at the lounge around half past ten, Two strangers sitting where the dark begins. You’re flying out to London on a morning plane, I’m heading to Chicago on the early train. No history between us, no baggage from the past, Knowing from the start that this night couldn't last. We shared a bowl of fruit and a quiet little talk, Then took a midnight stroll down the river walk. [Pre-Chorus] No promises promised, no future to design, Just borrowing a moment from the edge of time. A temporary comfort in a world so fast, Making every second feel built to last. [Chorus] It’s a borrowed night, living on loan, Two passing souls before we head home. Holding you close in the midnight chill, Finding a moment where the world stands still. Yeah, a borrowed night, no tears to cry, Knowing that morning brings a soft goodbye. We don't own tomorrow, but we got tonight, Underneath the city light... [Verse 2] We’re sitting on the balcony watching stars fade, Grateful for the sudden little match we made. You rest your head gently right against my chest, Giving both our busy hearts a moment of rest. You don't ask about my exes, I don't ask about yours, Just enjoying the comfort behind closed doors. It’s a sweet kind of freedom when there’s nothing to prove, Just two people catching a midnight groove. [Pre-Chorus] No promises promised, no future to design, Just borrowing a moment from the edge of time. A temporary comfort in a world so fast, Making every second feel built to last. [Chorus] It’s a borrowed night, living on loan, Two passing souls before we head home. Holding you close in the midnight chill, Finding a moment where the world stands still. Yeah, a borrowed night, no tears to cry, Knowing that morning brings a soft goodbye. We don't own tomorrow, but we got tonight, Underneath the city light... [Bridge] (Drums thin out, kora plucks and Rhodes take center stage) Sunlight’s coming up over the eastern bay, Signaling it’s time for us to walk away. Thank you for the comfort, thank you for the grace, I’ll remember your smile in every single place. [Final Chorus] (Full atmospheric arrangement, soaring vocal runs, rich harmonies) It’s a borrowed night (borrowed night, baby), living on loan, Two passing souls before we head home (before we head home). Holding you close in the midnight chill, Finding a moment where the world stands still. Yeah, a borrowed night, no tears to cry, Knowing that morning brings a soft goodbye. We don't own tomorrow, but we got tonight, Underneath the city light... [Outro] (Instruments gradually fade, soft kora and Rhodes till end) Borrowed night... Safe travels, baby. First Impression. (Fade out)
