A friend of mine says he's on borrowed time

And I keep saying that it's a perspective thing

One says that time moves slow and he's bored

Another says it all seems pretty normal



But on my end it's zipping by and slipping through and dancing past my eyes

A distraction, understanding that every moment dies

It meddles with my motivation and distracts me with imagination

Or surreal realism



Some things might convince you that life is pretty long

And I'm far too young to say

Borrowed time and pathways



Well, you could teach me how to shoot again

But it wouldn't be the same

Without that lady who don't speak to me

And all the games you'd play

Now your house is a journey away

Like we'd once worried about

Thank God none of that's relevant now



But you still ask me how I am

And you tell me to be safe

And it's been years and you're still saying I've got this sadness about me

Am I an easy read or is he off track?

Ramble, dear



A friend of mine says he's on borrowed time

And I can't answer questions like: how's life?

How has my day been and who the hell am I?

The ups and downs provide a nice balance

But there's a lot to look into



Sunday morning, passing the church folks

They're talking about their parties last night

Acoustics to the left and the circles to the right

A dollar for denim to distress

Convenience above being caressed

Haven't paid much mind to this lady in a while, so good morning

What a pleasant surprise to see you awake, but you look like you've been up all night



(chorus)
