Borrowed Time

Nobody owns a single day they get

We're all just renting sunlight by the hour

The clock don't pause for promise or regret

So I'd rather spend it loud than let it sour

Count it down, but count it up as well

Every breath's a coin you can't put back

So I'm cashing mine on stories I can tell

Not on stacking what I'll never carry back

It's all borrowed time, so I spend it loud

Dance it through the quiet, dance it through the crowd

Nothing here is keeping, so I'm letting it shine

Every borrowed minute, I'm calling it mine

Loud and bright, loud and free

Time's a loan, so let it be

I have seen the worried and the wise

Both arrive at the same closing door

One spent years rehearsing their goodbyes

One just lived and never kept the score

It's all borrowed time, so I spend it loud

Dance it through the quiet, dance it through the crowd

Nothing here is keeping, so I'm letting it shine

Every borrowed minute, I'm calling it mine

Loud and bright, loud and free

Time's a loan, so let it be

So don't ask me to save it for a rainy year

The rain comes anyway, the point is being here

Light the whole thing up before it's gone

Borrowed's still a beautiful word to build a life upon

It's all borrowed time, so I spend it loud

Dance it through the quiet, dance it through the crowd

Nothing here is keeping, so I'm letting it shine

Every borrowed minute, I'm calling it mine

Loud and bright, loud and free

Time's a loan, so let it be
