Borrowed Time

Verse 1

Boardwalk burns at midnight

Salt and diesel in the wind

I left my ledger at the counter

Where the jukebox starts to spin

Diamond watches ticking sideways

Every dealer knows your name

You spend your luck on rounded numbers

And you never learn the game

Pre-Chorus

And I could tell you the truth

But the truth won't hold the line

So I'll pour another round

For the ones I left behind

Chorus

Marina girls and faded flags

We sail on borrowed time

The harbor lights keep calling out

But I'm losing every line

Verse 2

Sunday papers stacked in corners

Coffee cold against the sill

You talk about the perfect weather

While the taxman takes the hill

Neon drifting on the water

Every promise made of glass

I traded gold for cheap distractions

Now the summer doesn't last

Pre-Chorus

And I could tell you the truth

But the truth won't hold the line

So I'll pour another round

For the ones I left behind

Chorus

Marina girls and faded flags

We sail on borrowed time

The harbor lights keep calling out

But I'm losing every line

Bridge

Let it go

Let it go

Watch it roll

Watch it roll

Every wave forgets my name

Every tide forgets the same

Chorus

Marina girls and faded flags

We sail on borrowed time

The harbor lights keep calling out

But I'm losing every line
