Everything Is Borrowed |
| This is my hour, I’m never going to bed. |
| The sky is still black, but begs to be red. |
| I just put my book down, but it begs to be read |
| I’m not nod, I’m not napper, never rest my head. |
| Some days I feel I’m getting smaller and smaller, |
| But some nights, I seem to grow taller and taller. |
| And we keep shrinkin' and shrinkin' but this will not finish. |
| You’re never nothing, if you didn’t disappear. |
| Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they change it. |
| Just when I’m loving life, it seems to start raining. |
| I pulled the sail safe switch, sea sail and I’m into the stars. |
| I love the rain out my skies. |
| The sky’s now red, my eyes reflect jets. |
| Smiling at this blessing, this life is the best. |
| I came to this world with nothing |
| And I leave with nothing but love |
| Everything else is just borrowed |
| I want to notice chances I’ve passed without notice |
| I want to see details previously veiled. |
| I want to grab that chance, carry it home |
| So I can marry and know |
| That I noticed every chance |
| That I could have passed without notice |
| I saw details that to all were veiled. |
| And I grabbed those chances, carried them home |
| And then I’ll have had it with roaming |
| I came to this world with nothing |
| And I leave with nothing but love |
| Everything else is just borrowed |
| I want to speak every cliche but tweak if I’ve seen change |
| In new way it could be said. |
| If it’s bleak, or if the week’s leaking down the street |
| Or if any days wasted I want to face facts. |
| My time on this earth is my only penny, |
| Wise is the gent counting every moment spent. |
| I don’t want to explain things, don’t wanna fill in the gaps, |
| I want to look at my friends and in that minute be at (?). |
| Memories are times we borrow |
| For spending tomorrow. |
| Memories are times we borrow |
| For spending tomorrow. |
| I came to this world with nothing |
| And I leave with nothing but love |
| Everything else is just borrowed |
| If spit like luck, you can only seem, |
| To borrow it, you can’t keep it. |
| When the wind of change whistles into play |
| Will I blink or flinch away? |
| The wind of change won’t whistle me away |
| If I spin my tails and sail. |
| And sail away, let yesterday become today. |
| I came to this world with nothing |
| And I leave with nothing but love |
| Everything else is just borrowed |
| As time will say, nothing but |
| I told you so Memories are times we borrow |
| For spending tomorrow. |
