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. |
