Lyrics

Listen
It's funny how we think we have forever
But we don't
We really don't
We don't
I woke up stressed again about a dollar and a cent
Mad at the world because I couldn't pay the rent
I walked past my family didn't even say goodbye
Too busy chasing paper letting moments pass me by
We hold these grudges like a treasure in a chest
We treat our loved ones worst and strangers getting all our best
I'm scrolling on my phone while my daughter wants to play
I say "Daddy's busy" pushing miracles away
We act like we immortal like the clock is gonna freeze
Like we ain't just a leaf that's shaking in the breeze
But the sand is slipping right through my hands
And I'm building castles on sinking lands
Yeah I'm building castles on sinking lands
We're living on borrowed time
Committing the perfect crime
Stealing moments from the people who love us the most
Turning living breathing memories into a ghost
Tell me why
Why do we wait for a funeral to buy the flowers?
Why do we wait 'til the end to count the hours?
It's borrowed time
I saw an old man sitting at the park on a bench
He looked at me with eyes that had a sorrowful stench
He said "Son I had the money I had the cars and the pride
But I lost my wife and now I'm empty inside"
He said "I'd trade this Rolex for a minute with her hand
But you can't buy time that's the law of the land"
It hit me like a bullet it hit me in the chest
This life is just a loan it ain't a permanent test
God gave us an hour-glass and flipped it on the side
And we don't know when the last grain is gonna slide
But the sand is slipping right through my hands
And I'm building castles on sinking lands
Yeah I'm building castles on sinking lands
We're living on borrowed time
Committing the perfect crime
Stealing moments from the people who love us the most
Turning living breathing memories into a ghost
Tell me why
Why do we wait for a funeral to buy the flowers?
Why do we wait 'til the end to count the hours?
It's borrowed time
I look in the mirror and I see the gray hairs coming in
I realize the race I'm running I might never win
But if I win the world and I lose my own soul?
Then I'm digging my own grave and losing all control
So today I'm gonna change yeah today I'm gonna love
I'm gonna thank the man who is watching from above
I'm gonna kiss my wife I'm gonna hold my babies tight
Cause I don't know if I'm gonna make it through the night
Forgive your father Forgive him
Call your mother Call her now
Hug your kids
Love your brother Love each other
Put the phone down
Look up at the sky Look up
Before the loan is over
Before we say goodbye
We're living on borrowed time Borrowed time
Committing the perfect crime Perfect crime
Stealing moments from the people who love us the most
Turning living breathing memories into a ghost
Tell me why Tell me why
Why do we wait for a funeral to buy the flowers?
Why do we wait 'til the end to count the hours?
It's borrowed time
Don't wait for the funeral
Don't wait
Buy the flowers now
It's just borrowed time
Borrowed time
