lyrics

Borrowed Time

Here we are again, where have we all been?
Where the time has gone away and come back once more
No longer so naive, invincible and so damn wise,
and something stole the gleam inside our teenage eyes

And we look back…

Hours left until the dawn, lining up glasses like we were young
Laying our lives on the cutting room floor, staring in from different doors
A toast to who we were, and who we are
beginnings and ends, and here's to absent friends

and borrowed time…

And the music you grew up with
The friends you held so dear
the images across your spectral fires
they once again draw near

and we are here

Words begin to grow held up by what we think we know
as we look into the unknown, the unknown
Broken up by someone's laugh, memories of these same
Conversations, ten years past

and Borrowed time,
living on borrowed time…

And the music you grew up with
The friends you held so dear
the image is a cross, your spectral fires
they once again draw near

And the music you grew up with
The friends you held so dear
the images across, your spectral fires
they once again draw near

and we are here
and we are here

Morning shines all too soon, and we move on
