Borrowed Time Songtext
von Outloud

I thought I′d heard, I thought I'd seen it all before
Lights that passed me by, I never minded
I thought I′d lived, I thought I'd changed my point of view
Little did I know my love was blinded

I've been searching down the longest road (longest road)
Locked in ivory towers, waiting for a sign (yeah)
Keeping up the charade when I can

But sometimes love shines
But sometimes it folds up and dies
It′s time to be a man

I never asked to live on borrowed time
I didn′t wanna be the one to hold the line
I was living for the moment
Then it was the only time I knew
You never thought to ask me from the start
Now we're leaving as a pair of broken hearts
It was over in an instant
Still there must be something we can do


The more I learn, the more I see through different eyes
I see the ways we could have been together
The less I fight, the more I find out who we are
It′s no fault of ours, now and forever

I've been searching down the longest road (longest road)
Locked in ivory towers, waiting for a sign (yeah)
I set a course for anywhere but here

But sometimes love shines
But sometimes it folds up and dies
The room to shed a tear

I never asked to live on borrowed time
I didn′t wanna be the one to hold the line
I was living for the moment
Then it was the only time I knew
You never thought to ask me from the start
Now we're leaving as a pair of broken hearts
It was over in an instant
Still there must be something we can do


What is true is true for you
That much I can say anew
Tell me how to carry on
When behind this feels so wrong
What is true is true for you
Praying that you need me too
Can I keep on holding on?
Tell me how to brave the storm

I never asked to live on borrowed time
I didn′t wanna be the one who's left behind
I was living for the moment
Then it was the only time I knew
You never thought to ask me from the start
Now we're leaving as a pair of broken hearts
It was over in an instant
Still there must be something we can do

Oh, nothing I can say or do, hey
Oh yeah, damned if I still need you too
