Borrowed Clock

[Verse 1]
I found your name
on a ticket stub
folded in my coat
from the Ferris wheel

You laughed so hard
you bent the sky
then the whole night
slipped through my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Now every room
feels a little thin
like the walls know
what we let in

And I keep hearing
that small true bell
ringing in my chest
saying

[Chorus]
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Hold me while we can
Hold me while we can

Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Love me like a spark
Love me like a spark

[Verse 2]
The kettle sings
the same old song
your mug still sits
by the cracked blue tile

I touch the edge
of your worn-out sleeve
like it might tell me
you’re still here awhile

[Pre-Chorus]
But dawn comes fast
through the curtain seam
and it takes back
what it gave to me

So I kiss the ache
and I let it burn
while my heart keeps
trying to learn

[Chorus]
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Hold me while we can
Hold me while we can

Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Love me like a spark
Love me like a spark

[Bridge]
If the clock pulls hard
let it pull
I won’t hold the day
I’ll hold you

One more breath
one more round
one more run
before we’re ground

[Final Chorus]
Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Hold me while we can
Hold me while we can

Time is only borrowed
Time is only borrowed
Love me like a spark
Love me like a spark
