[Intro] [Hard kick alone — four bars. Rolling sub-bass enters. Hi-hats swing in late.] Don't tell me your name Don't ask me mine [Verse 1 — spoken over the groove, close and warm] You found me when the lights came up Neither of us moved to leave You held the door I followed you out Neither of us said where [Build] Still walking Still here Still no name [Drop] [Percussion rolls, bass drives forward] Borrowed Borrowed time Not mine to keep Borrowed Borrowed time And I'm not giving it back [Verse 2] We walked the river until it turned You were cold I wasn't We passed your street You didn't stop I didn't ask [Build] Still walking Still cold Still here [Drop] Borrowed Borrowed time Not mine to keep Borrowed Borrowed time And I'm not giving it back [Breakdown — kick drops out, low whistle enters over sub-bass] The city went quiet The sky went grey at the edges You looked at me like you already knew How this ends Why it has to [Build — kick returns, harder] Still walking Still here Almost [Final Drop — maximum groove] Borrowed Borrowed time Every second Borrowed Borrowed time Every breath Borrowed Borrowed Borrowed [Outro — elements strip away one by one] Still walking Still here Still You turned left I went straight [Kick alone, then silence] Borrowed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Irish techno track built around the hours after a club closes — two strangers who never exchange names, walking a cold city until the sky starts to grey. Neither goes home. Neither explains why. The borrowed time is the walk itself, and the repeated phrases erode as the night runs out: still walking, still here, still. At the end they simply separate at a corner. No goodbye, no reason given, no name to remember. Romantic, unresolved and quietly devastating. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2026 Ande Records Lyrics by Ande All rights reserved. https://ande-records.se/
