[Verse 1]
I signed my name in the dark
On a receipt with no amount
Put my day in your pocket
Watch it tumble upside down
My coffee went cold in the cup
Your laugh still stung in the air
I kept asking for more of it
Like I could keep you there
[Pre-Chorus]
But every second slips
Like rain through my hands
And every plan I make
Turns to sand
[Chorus]
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Hold me while it lasts
Hold me while it lasts
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Take me by the hand
Take me by the hand
[Verse 2]
I saw tomorrow in your face
Then it blinked and moved on
The clock on the wall kept talking
Like it knew what I’d done
I tried to build a forever
Out of splinters and glue
But the floor kept giving way
When I leaned into you
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the night run long
Let the room stay warm
If the ending’s coming
I want the storm
[Chorus]
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Hold me while it lasts
Hold me while it lasts
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Take me by the hand
Take me by the hand
[Bridge]
If morning takes your shape
I’ll still know that touch
A little bit of now
Was more than enough
So don’t say goodbye
Just stay one more round
We were never owned by it
We were only found
[Chorus]
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Hold me while it lasts
Hold me while it lasts
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Take me by the hand
Take me by the hand
[Outro]
Borrowed and bright
Borrowed tonight
Hold me while it lasts
Hold me while it lasts
