Borrowed Time

Verse 1
We had scraped knees and pocket change
Skateboard scars and arcade games
Late night calls on a corded phone
Didn’t know we were building bones
Summer nights with a radio
World felt wide, we didn’t know
Every dream was a getaway
Every sunset felt like it’d stay

Pre-Chorus
Now the years just fly past fast
Like they’re runnin’ from the past

Chorus
It all moves quicker than you think
Blink once and you miss a link
From classroom desks to wedding rings
From lullabies to silver wings
Every scar, every mile we’ve known
Is proof we lived, not just grown
This life ain’t owed, it’s borrowed time
So hold it close while it’s still mine

Verse 2
We learned love in a borrowed suit
Said “I do” with nothin’ to lose
Built small worlds in a bigger place
Watched our kids get our old face
Now they’re runnin’ where we once ran
Same wild hearts, new set of plans
Pictures fade but the feeling stays
Every chapter turns the page

Pre-Chorus
Now the mirror shows the truth
Still the same kid, just older boots

Chorus
It all moves quicker than you think
Blink once and you miss a link
From classroom desks to wedding rings
From lullabies to silver wings
Every scar, every mile we’ve known
Is proof we lived, not just grown
This life ain’t owed, it’s borrowed time
So hold it close while it’s still mine

Bridge (half-time, emotional)
We thought forever meant next year
Didn’t know it’d bring us here
Hands that held us now need ours
Still chasing light through fading stars

Final Chorus (bigger)
It all moves quicker than you think
Blink once and the world will shift
From scraped up bikes to hospital halls
From first steps to last phone calls
Every laugh, every hard goodbye
Is just love learning how to fly
This life ain’t owed, it’s borrowed time
So feel it all… while it’s still mine

Outro
We were kids
We were brave
We were lost
We were saved
Still standing in the afterglow
Of every road we didn’t know
