BORROWED TIME (Alt 1)

Intro

Verse 1 We were twenty when I met you Both pretending not to care You had summer in your blue eyes I had trouble everywhere We bought rooms we couldn't pay for Raised our babies down the hall Watched the years turn black hair silver Never noticed them at all

Chorus We were living on borrowed time Every kiss stealing from the end Every morning you were mine Was a day we never had to spend Borrowed time That's all anybody gets So if the clock comes looking for me I ain't giving one back yet

Verse 2 We have buried friends together Watched our children leave the drive Learned that growing old ain't losing It's the proof you stayed alive There are lines around your laughter There are scars across my hands Every one says we were here once Every one says we had a chance

Bridge If tomorrow finds us missing Let tonight remember this We never owned forever We just got damn good at it Borrowed time Let the old clock run We stole whole years from darkness And spent every single one Borrowed time I wouldn't change a night If death comes asking what I did with mine Tell him— I lived it by your side
