Lyrics

Leave your watch beside the glass
Let the second hand go round
We can settle with the morning
When the morning comes around
You arrive when the room gets thin
With the cool night folded in
Set your keys beside my drink
Give me half a smile to think
I ask how long you've got to stay
You turn the question clean away
One small step across the floor
And time becomes a little less sure
There’s a car out on the corner
There’s a coat behind the door
Both can wait a little longer
What’s a little waiting for?
On borrowed time
Put a little on my tab
Let the morning take its portion
Let us keep the best we have
On borrowed time
With your hand resting in mine
We can leave the ending open
For another bassline
You know the way to stretch a pause
Without explaining what it was
Let your shoulder answer first
Like you’ve had that line rehearsed
The bass walks crooked through the bar
You follow just behind the snare
Then turn and catch me standing still
A raised eyebrow says you know I will
There’s a car out on the corner
There’s a coat behind the door
Both can wait a little longer
What’s a little waiting for?
On borrowed time
Put a little on my tab
Let the morning take its portion
Let us keep the best we have
On borrowed time
With your hand resting in mine
We can leave the ending open
For another bassline
Who’s got the hour?
We’ve got a piece
What’s in your pocket?
A little release
When is the last one?
After this one
You said that before
Then give me one more
You’ve got somewhere in the morning
I’ve got things I ought to do
But you draw me slowly closer
Till I share the weight with you
We can talk about tomorrow
When we’re standing in the sun
Now you’re reaching past my shoulder
Turning down the clock to one
Hold that thought
Let it breathe
Leave the keys
Bring it back to me
On borrowed time
Put a little on my tab
Let the morning take its portion
Let us keep the best we have
On borrowed time
With your hand resting in mine
We can leave the ending open
For another bassline
On borrowed time
Let the minute hand slide
There’s a little left between us
And I want to take my time
One for the coat
Two for the keys
Three for the way
You keep looking at me
Four for the trouble
Five for the ride
Leave a little unpaid
On the other side
You say one more
I say all right
Funny how the same words
Keep extending the night
Your watch beside the glass
Your keys beneath your hand
You say you really ought to go
Then ask what else I had planned
