Borrowed Time

Ohhhh...is it any wonder
That light bedside obligations can feel so good
It seems that sinners make the world go round
But Heaven's just the same, misunderstood
I will find a road without a destination
I'll buy the world a round that's on a dime
Admit it, making shortcuts isn't wasted anymore
A second spent with you is borrowed time
Ohhhh...let's get this over with
While I've still got abilities to fake it
Everything feels so dark in this morning light
With a little borrowed time, we just might make it
I will find a road without a destination
I'll buy the world a round that's on a dime
Admit it, making shortcuts isn't wasted anymore
A second spent with you is borrowed time
(Repeat x 2)
