Borrowed Time
Just silence, from the thunder
The reflection of a life
Cant reveal the light inside
But its no wonder
Never took the chance to say
For whatever reasons why
Good intentions arent enough
Cant afford to put them off anymore
But theres nothing to do to make it right
Cause the path of our fate wont be turned aside
Cant expect anyone to understand
But the answer is in your hands
Cuz its borrowed time
Whens the dime running out
Yes its borrowed time
Just so much life
Without a doubt
Only borrowed time
Who decides, I wonder why
I cant say goodbye
Daylight casts my shadow like the rest
Cause the world keeps going on
And I know that from beyond
You feel my helplessness
But if you were standing here
You would laugh about my fears
Like you always did before
You demanded nothing else
Than you ever save yourself
So what am I frightened for
You were the one
To lead the way
Never fooled by the lights
That lead us all astray
And the last one to think
The worst of things
Doesnt change what
Tomorrow brings
(chorus)

Song: On Borrowed Time
We're all living on borrowed time,
Near the brooding sea and brine.
And we grow our primate's spine,
In every clime.
Since we crawled out from 'neath the grime,
And evolved to a species – prime.
We've been living on borrowed time,
On borrowed time.
On borrowed time. We feed and dine.
On borrowed time. In swill like swine.
On borrowed time. We sup our wine.
On borrowed time. On borrowed time!
On borrowed time. In slow decline.
On borrowed time. No season shines.
On borrowed time. No reason rhymes.
On borrowed time. On borrowed time!
We're all living on borrowed time,
Acting out our roles in mime,
As if you cannot tell that I'm confused.
We're all living on borrowed time,
And we're captured hook and line.
Enraptured lives entwine as minds unloose.
On borrowed time, by frantic chime,
Of doomsday clocks and scam sub-prime.
On borrowed time, we count the dime.
On borrowed time. On borrowed time!
From that day of Eve's droll crime,
When dull Adam su*ked the lime,
We've been living on borrowed time,
On borrowed time.
On borrowed time. By dread defined.
On borrowed time. Knee-deep in slime.
On borrowed time. We moan and whine.
On borrowed time. On borrowed time!
On borrowed time. To heights sublime.
On borrowed time. Statistics climb.
On borrowed time. Who reads the signs?
On borrowed time. On borrowed time!

Borrowed
borrowed shirts, borrowed shoes,
borrowed books, borrowed thoughts,
borrowed bed, borrowed lover,
borrowed dreams, borrowed salt.
borrowed children, borrowed mothers,
borrowed study, borrowed lives.
borrowed God, borrowed heaven,
borrowed killers with borrowed knives.
borrowed flags, borrowed lies,
borrowed virtue, borrowed freedom.
borrowed bombs, borrowed bullets,
borrowed puppets, borrowed kingdoms.
borrowed soup bowls, borrowed numbers,
borrowed tents, borrowed bridge.
borrowed hope, borrowed survival,
borrowed till it's sacrilige!

We Live On Borrowed Time
WE LIVE ON BORROWED TIME
I never thought there could be a love like yours and mine
I never dreamed that I would see the day that I would find
A love that feels so right, but here we are tonight
And now the only thing we really need is time
We live on borrowed time
No one can be sure when the loan will finally come due
But I'm loving all of mine, I know what time is for,
I've borrowed it so I can spend it all right here with you
There was a time when I believed that life held guarantees
There was a time when I was sure my future was secure,
But life had other plans, the future's in God's hands
And knowing that just makes me love you even more
We live on borrowed time
Yesterday is past, tomorrow seems a million miles away
But I promise you that I'm gonna make love last
By living every moment, every hour, every day
Now we may have a year, or we may have a lifetime,
No one can be certain what the future will allow,
But you and I are here, and this time is the right time
'Cause one thing that I know is that we have each other now, and now,
And we live on borrowed time
Let's celebrate and sing as we walk bravely into the unknown
'Cause we're gonna be just fine, whatever life may bring,
We'll face it all together and we'll never be alone
We'll face it all together and we'll never be alone

Borrowed Time
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older ah hah
The future is brighter and now is the hour
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complications everything clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Borrowed Time
Heard it many times.
Heard it said before.
'your living on borrowed Time'
Sometimes I wonder.
What do people mean?
By it
Your living on
Borrowed time.
I can
Soft of understand.
Time is not always borrowed.
It can be given
Then taken away
So I guess that mostly
Time is borrowed

Lonely Girl (feat. Linda Perry)
verse 1-
I can remember / The very first time I cried /
How I wiped my eyes / And buried the pain inside /
All of my memories / Good and bad that's passed /
Didn't even take the time to realize /
bridge 1-
Staring at the cracks in the walls /
'Cause I'm waiting for it all to come to an end /
Still I curl up right under the bed /
'Cause it's takin' over my head / All over again /
chorus -
Do you even know who you are? /
I'm guess I'm trying to find /
A borrowed dream or a superstar? /
I want to be a star /
Is life good to you, or is it bad? /
I can't tell anymore /
Do you even know what you have? /
verse 2-
Lying awake / Watching the sunlight /
How the birds will sing / As I count the rings around my eyes /
Constantly pushing / The world I know aside /
I don't even feel the pain / I don't even want to try /
bridge 2-
I'm looking for a way to become /
The person that I dreamt up / When I was 16 /
Oh, nothing is ever enough /
Ooh, baby it ain't enough /
For what it may seem /
chorus -
Do you even know who you are? /
I'm still trying to find /
A borrowed dream or a superstar? /
Everybody wants to be /
Is life good to you, or is it bad? /
I can't tell anymore /
Do you even know what you have? /
No /
bridge 3-
Sorry girl / Tell a tale for me /
'Cause I'm wondering / How you really feel /
I'm a lonely girl / I'll tell a tale for you /
'Cause I'm just trying to make /
All my dreams come true /
chorus -
Do you even know who you are? /
Oh yeah, yeah /
A borrowed dream or a superstar? /
Oh, I wanted to be a star /
Is life good to you, or is it bad? /
I can't tell, I can't tell anymore /
Do you even know what you have? /
I guess not, oh, I guess not /
Do you even know who you are? /
Oh, I'm trying to find /
A rising dream, or a falling star? /
Oh, I have all these dreams /
Is life good to you, or is it bad? /
I can't tell anymore /
Do you even know what you have? /
Oh, no, no /
-Fades-
Do you even know who you are? /
A rising dream, or falling star? /
Is life good to you, or is it bad

Life's Too Short
I let you escape, slip through my fingers
We made our mistakes, but memories linger
Each time I turn a corner I swear I see your face
But I'm standing here alone in the wonder
What I really needed, what made me run away?
Was it just somebody's spell I was under
(Chorus)
We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind
And life's too short to be living without you
You laughed at my jokes, broke down my defenses
It's like my heart just awoke, and brought back my senses
I've got my motor running, it's all that I can do
Cause every road I'm taking, is leading back to you
Repeat Chorus
We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind
And life's too short to be living without you
And life's too short
And life's too short
I give in I can't go it alone, yeah I'm done now I know that you're gone
I need someone to save me and life's too short, too short
I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short to be living without you
Life's too short
I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short can't be living without you
Life's too short
I give in I can't go it alone
I can live without you
Life's too short
I give in I can't go it alone
Life's too short to be living without you

Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow
Hold me like there's no next time
Like it's the last time you'll have the chance to
Show me how much you want me
Like I'm the only thing that matters
No one knows when the world's gonna end
So let's make love like we never will again
'Cause if the sun never rises, I wanna go down in flames
I want the last thing I hear to be you whisperin' my name
If every moment together is time that we borrowed
Then hold me tight and love me like there's no tomorrow
I hope we live forever
And that day will never come, but darlin'
I know if it ever happens
I couldn't imagine not being in your arms
There's so much we take for granted in life
So love me baby like we're running out of time
'Cause if the sun never rises, I wanna go down in flames
I want the last thing I hear to be you whisperin' my name
If every moment together is time that we borrowed
'Cause if the sun never rises, I wanna go down in flames
I want the last thing I hear to be you whisperin' my name
If every moment together is time that we borrowed
Hold me tight and love me like there's no tomorrow

Borrowed Time
Got the word, getting ready
Gonna get my pay from ? ? ? ?
Im in light, ? ? ? ?
When the action is hot, ? ? ? ?
No town, no city
Gonna be free from the jumping jack
Kiss of life, getting gritty
If the mule dont kick you know the mule dont ride
And I know, yes I know, well I know
Thats the way to go
And I know, and I know
And I know that Im gonna get it down the road
Chorus:
Cause Im living on a borrowed time
Do it your way, Ill do it mine
Living on a borrowed time
Dont need a shove, dont need a sign
Call me names, call me crazy
Dont try to stop me when I feel this way
Its a game, (whoopsy daisy? )
Here comes another girl to make my day
And I know, yes I know, well I know
Thats the way to go
And I know, yes I know
Im gonna get up when Im up on the road

Living On Borrowed Time
A-yodel-ay-e. Hoo. Hoo. Hoo.
Well, I'm swimming in debt and the money's all gone
I ain't got nothing I can call my own
Worked my fingers to the blood and bone
For a big disappointment when my paycheck comes
If I only had a little I could do just fine
I could put a down payment on some peace of mind
But I'm hanging at the end of a credit line
Lord, I'm just living on borrowed time
My truck's financed through the Union Bank
But I don't have enough to even fill the tank
I'd take you for a drive, girl, but I just can't
Cuz the damned ol' motor won't even crank
My trailer's plenty big if we lived outside
But I can't swing the payments on a double wide
Better hold a place in that welfare line
Cause I'm just living on borrowed time
Chorus:
If it comes real cheap but it don't come free
Then it stays off limits to a guy like me
They say it brings trouble having money to burn
I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn.
Lord! Lord! Hmm-mmm.
Chorus
Yeah, I bought my wife a little diamond ring
Her mom said, Hon, can't even see that thing
It'll be paid off when I'm 65
If I'm lucky enough to still be alive
Even if I was to up and pass away
My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave
No tombstone just an old wood sign saying
He was just living on borrowed time
Out there swinging from a credit line
Lord, I'm just living on borrowed time
Lord, I'm just living on borrowed tim

On Borrowed Time
Remember not to say a word
If they ask about me
Say you havent heard
Sweet communion
Of the forbidden kind
I live to love you
Only on borrowed time
Are you waiting
Waiting in the dark
For a message, for a sign
Precious these days
Living our ways
On borrowed time
Yeah
Fallen angel
Where do you hide your heart
Under some angry ? ? ?
Alone you fall apart
Oh, youre not forgotten
Youre always on my mind
Whispering words Im waiting, waiting
Only on borrowed time
Someones praying
Praying for your life
For a miracle or sign
Precious these days
Living our ways

Waiting in the night
For a message, for a sign
Precious there days

Fine Line
You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line
Don't pretend you don't see
What's in front of your eyes
We're scraping the gutter
Or we're touching the skies
There's times when I feel
I'm in the eye of a storm
But there's times when I feel
That we could fly up to the moon
To the moon
You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line
I know you agree that
We should try to work it out
It's too good to throw away
I never had a doubt
We're so good together
And there's nothing to prove
Seems we gotta learn
To take the rough times with the smooth
With the smooth
You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line

Keep On Going
Written by bob welch.
For a little peace in any season
Id give up anything but your love
I dont want to trade, tryin to be happy
Thats only playin anyway
But if I dream about it, it makes me wonder
For every good thing, must you get bad
But I wont worry, and if Im living on borrowed time
Im gonna keep on the way Im going
For every crime, theres retribution
And every vally has a mountainside
No, I dont like to trade just to be happy
That kind of deal wont turn out right
See it aint good to stare inside yourself too long
For every true thing therees one more lie
But I wont worry cause if Im living on borrowed time
Ill just try to keep on the way Im going

You Are The One I Been Looking For
Out of every guy is you
You answered all my questions that I couldn't do myself
You are angel come to save me from this broken road and
Lead me into right direction
You are the one I been looking for
You make me understand life
I feel so alive and free
I couldn't feel like this if it wasn't for you
I'm changing all the time because of you
I care about your opinion and what you think about me
You know I like you
I shouldn't have write on there
If I'm not going do anything about it
I never meant to hurt, make you jealous, and I was never mad at you
I was dumb for what I done to you and make you think different of me
You are different out of every guy in good way
I enjoy your laugh, jokes, smile, and goofy sides of you and who you are
You are the most wonderful person I ever meet
On negative side if worst that I have to deal with your friends think they know who I am
You want to found out about me and what your friends think about me
You want to test me, practice me in certain areas, and subjects
I get why, but I didn't realized at time
This was way different than I expect out of you
I am blushing and smiling around you
It's been long time
Everything is because of you
I can enjoy life, see how much I miss out, and have fun again for first time
I want to take risks, do things I never do before
No more sad songs or past
It's you I see now
You are the one I been looking for
I feel so bless to found you
Thank you for everything
You are always one person there to make me feel better when I'm in bad mood and
I start laughing and smile all because of you
When we smile at each other
I get all this sparks back and is was good moment
I just no way to approach you and this time is different
You have a face of famous person even if you are not one
I will not cry anymore if this doesn't work out
I know to let it go and learn from this
This is life and life is not fair
I get it and know better
I should realized what did I got myself in first place
If like this with you, how you feel about this situation, and
I put myself though something that end like this
There is nothing left to say
You are the one I been looking for

I Cannot Believe Its True
When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe my eyes
cos Ive already given all I have to give
And I think it must have slipped your mind
But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all, its gone
And I gave it all to you
Now Im living on borrowed time, but its mine
Oh, dyou hear me?
I cannot believe its true
Are you really doing the things you do.
No I cannot believe its you, really you
Oh these people Im talking to dont understand
They dont seem to realize
Theyre listening but theyre not hearing me
Theyre being too cruel to be kind
Any kind of feeling that I had is gone
cos I gave it all, its gone
And I gave it all to you
Now Im living on borrowed time, but its mine
Oh, dyou hear me?
I cannot believe its true
Are you really doing the things you do.
No I cannot believe its you, really you
Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I hope Im gonna make up
Over and over I know its really happening
And theres nothing that I can say
cos nothing can change all the things that youve done to me
Nothing can make me stay
Oh, cos you know I cannot believe its true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe its you, really you
I know its a crying shame, its all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out but I cannot get through
Never meant it to show
It started happening, thats all you know.
Oh, I gave it all to you
Now Im living on borrowed time, but its mine
Oh, dyou hear me?
I cannot believe its true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe its you, really you
Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I hope Im gonna make up
But over and over I know its really happening
And theres nothing that I can say
cos nothing can change all the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay
cos you know I cannot believe its true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe its you, really you

Good Time
I've been down and out wondering what it all about
So many pressures and the burden seemed too much for me to bear
I tried to fight it, but there were shackles on my hands
Tried to deny it, 'til oppression took command
Turned to the Savior and He opened up my eyes
It caught me by surprise, told me somethin' that was no lie
Chorus:
It's a good time, a good time to be free
It's a good time, time to get free inside
It's a good time, a good time to believe
It's a good time, time to get free inside
Now you're down and out wondering what your life's about
Try to laugh your fears away, so you party everyday
What you are feeling, there ain't nothing new to find
What you don't know is, your life is on the line
Time to discover, there's so much more to this than just the way you live
I know someone with freedom to give
(chorus)
So let your spirit hear, and put your mind behind
There's a freedom that only in Him you'll find
If you heed the call you will have all you need
'Cause who the Son sets free you know is free, free indeed
(chorus)
What do you want to do with your life
Its up to you, you've got to decide
There's freedom here if you want it, just make up your mind
It is a good time

Bring Out The Magic
(graham russell)
When all else fails and you have nothing
You know you really should believe in something
Take a look at what you have
To a dream thats not all that bad
Dont waste time with all your thinking
Wake up now your dreams are sinking
Making the change is up to you
Youll accept nothing less than the best
(chorus)
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Its much quicker than the eye
Its your mind and its there all the time
Say good-bye this is tomorrow
Make your mind up not to follow
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say
(chorus)
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say
You can stay with me now
And tell me what you know
You can stay with me now
And tell me all you know
(chorus)
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say
