Lyrics
Borrowed Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We talk every once in a while
But really nothings said at all
Thoughts and feelings fill my head
That just can’t seem to be said
So they all just drift away
And I guess there just words
They don’t matter anyway
Most days anymore there just a blur
Pictures in my mind of a time gone by
There not mine
I’m living on borrowed time
Just living on borrowed time
And that day will come when I stand before my king
I hope he remembers some of the good things
Not all my wrong all the bad that I’ve done
All the times I didn’t look back to follow my own path
The one that leaves you broken and never last
Mistakes I’ve made along the way
All the times I didn’t pray for who needed me
But that’s really just who I am
Just a broken man
Most of my days anymore
There just a blur
Just pictures in my mind
Of a time long gone by
And dreams there for suckers and fools
A few lucky ones break the rules
And maybe they win
But that’s just not me
I could gain the world and still not see
Anything good without you
Just a broken fool
And that day will come when I stand before my king
I hope he remembers some of the good things
Not all my wrong all the bad that I’ve done
All the times I didn’t look back to follow my own path
The one that leaves you broken and never last
Mistakes I’ve made along the way
All the times I didn’t pray for who needed me
But that’s really just who I am
Just a broken man
I wanna lay down right beside you
In your arms and try to sleep
Let my eyes just fade away
To your gentle heart beat
Run your fingers through my hair
Please stay right here
Just let me breathe
Feel your warm skin next to me
How just your touch makes me feel
Takes my air away
I’m so lost in you
I can’t say in words how much I love you
Right here is where I need you to be
I’m living on borrowed time
Just living on borrowed time
And we talk every once in a while
But really nothings said at all
Thoughts and feelings fill my head
That just can’t seem to be said
So they all just drift away
And I guess there just words
They don’t matter anyway
And that day will come when I stand before my king
I hope he remembers some of the good things
Not all my wrong all the bad that I’ve done
I’m living on borrowed time
Just living on borrowed time
