Jimmy Lamoreau - Borrowed Time Lyrics

I set my clock five minutes ahead
Like it's gonna save me from what's in my head
Every deadline feels like a dare
But I'm just running circles while pretending I care.
I thought by now I'd have it all down
But my plans keep burning before they hit the ground
They say there's no use in looking behind
But what if that's where I left my mind?
We're all just living on borrowed time
Counting seconds like nickels and dimes
Every tick feels like a landslide
But we keep on moving, pretending we're fine.
I swear I'll quit this job next week
But my rent's due Friday, and I can't skip a beat
Every dream I had's a little worn thin
Like a shirt I can't throw away but won't fit in.
And maybe this is just how it goes
We build these castles but step on our toes
I'd tear it all down and try to restart
But where do you go when you've misplaced your heart?
We're all just living on borrowed time
Counting seconds like nickels and dimes
Every tick feels like a landslide
But we keep on moving, pretending we're fine.
One more second, one more try
One more breath before goodbye
I keep saying it's all gonna change
But every excuse is the same refrain.
We're all just living on borrowed time
Counting seconds like nickels and dimes
Every tick feels like a landslide
But we keep on moving, pretending we're fine.
We're all just living on borrowed time
Hoping someday we'll cross that line
But until then, we hold on tight
Living on borrowed time tonight.
