Lyrics

I caught myself picturing curtains
In a room I haven't seen
Your shoes kicked by a doorway
Next to a pair of mine, half-clean
It was nothing you had promised
Nothing either of us said
Just my mind laying out a life
On the spare side of the bed
I know it's early
I know how hope can bruise
Still some thoughts arrive so softly
You don't realize you let them through
Borrowed future
Resting in my hands
Like a photograph from years ahead
I was never meant to have
Borrowed future
Light and paper-thin
I don't hold it like I own it
Just to see how it might fit in
I imagine Sunday groceries
Your handwriting on a list
My name folded into yours
In all the little daily things
Not forever, not a wedding
Not a movie ending scene
Just enough ordinary closeness
To make me catch my breath and freeze
I know imagination
Can run ahead of what is true
But sometimes wanting something gently
Is all a heart can safely do
Borrowed future
Resting in my hands
Like a photograph from years ahead
I was never meant to have
Borrowed future
Light and paper-thin
I don't hold it like I own it
Just to see how it might fit in
Maybe hope is not a thief
Maybe it just borrows light
Maybe love begins in glimpses
We are scared to name outright
I don't need to own tomorrow
To admit I want you there
Sometimes truth arrives as a daydream
Trying out the air
Borrowed future
Resting in my hands
Like a photograph from years ahead
I was never meant to have
Borrowed future
Light and paper-thin
I don't hold it like I own it
Just to see how it might fit in
I fold the picture back up slowly
Set it where the night can keep it
Not forever, not yet, maybe
