Everything Is Borrowed

This is my hour, I'm never going to be

The sky's 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 a napper, never rest my head

Some days I feel I'm gettin' smaller and smaller

But some nights seem to grow taller and taller

And we keep shrinkin' and shrinkin' but this will not finish

You're never nothin' if you didn't disappear

Just when I discovered the meaning of live, they change it

Just when I'm lovin' life, it seems to start raining

I pulled the sail safe switch, set sail and I'm into the stars

I love the rain in my skies

They 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 wanna 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 could have passed without notice

I saw details that to will be 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 wanna speak every cliche, but tweak if I've see change

In new way it could be said

If it's bleak or if the week's leakin' 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 wanna explain things, don't wanna fill in the gaps

I wanna 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

It's a bit like love it 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

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
