Borrowed Hours

[Intro]

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Verse 1]

There's dust on the dashboard rust on the door

Another damn morning I've seen before

The clock keeps crawling while I stand still

Watching old dreams fade beyond the windowsill

I hear the highway calling somewhere west

But this weight on my shoulders won't let me rest

[Pre-Chorus]

Every second leaves a scar

Every mile feels twice as far

I keep counting what I've lost

Trying not to count the cost

[Chorus]

I've been living on borrowed hours

Watching daylight drown in rain

Building walls around the wreckage

Then wondering why I feel the same

There's a fire underneath me

Buried deeper than the doubt

I may have lost some years already

But I ain't letting all my time run out

[Verse 2]

The old porch light flickers like it knows my pain

The calendar changes but the room stays the same

I've carried these shadows from county to county

Like an unpaid debt that keeps on counting

Folks say tomorrow like tomorrow is free

But nobody tells you what yesterday steals quietly

[Pre-Chorus]

Every sunrise makes me choose

What I keep and what I lose

The hands keep turning anyway

So I'm taking back today

[Chorus]

I've been living on borrowed hours

Watching daylight drown in rain

Building walls around the wreckage

Then wondering why I feel the same

There's a fire underneath me

Buried deeper than the doubt

I may have lost some years already

But I ain't letting all my time run out

[Bridge]

I know the dark has learned my footsteps

I know the weight can feel like stone

But there's still thunder in my heartbeat

And there's still roads I haven't known

Let the past keep its old ghosts

Let the dead leaves hit the ground

I've spent enough of my life waiting

For a reason to turn around

[Final Chorus]

I've been living on borrowed hours

But I'm done wasting what remains

Let the daylight hit these windows

Let it burn away the stains

There's a fire underneath me

And I finally hear it now

I may have lost some years already

But I'm taking back my time somehow

Yeah the clock can keep on running

I'll be running with it now

[Outro]

The hands keep turning

The road keeps calling

And I'm still here

So I keep going

(Keep going)

(Keep going)

Oh-oh-oh
