Everything Is Borrowed

This is my hour; I'm never going to bed The sky's still black but begs to be read I just put my book down but it begs to be read I'll not nod, I'll not nap, I'll never rest my head Some day's I feel I'm getting smaller and smaller but some nights I seem to grow taller and taller You can keep shrinking and shrinking but this will not finish, you're never nothing, if you didn't disappear Just when I discovered the meaning of life they change it Just when I'm loving life it seems to start raining I pull the sail safe, switch seats, settle And I'm aimed at the stars I love rain on my scars The skies now red, my eyes reflect, jest Smiling at this blessing this life is the best I came to this world with nothing and I leave with nothing but love everything else is just borrowed I wanna notice chances I've past without notice I wanna see details previously veiled I wanna grab that chance, carry it home So I can marry and know that I noticed every chance I could have passed without notice I saw details that to all be veiled and I grabbed those chances carried them home and then I'll have had it with roaming I came to this world with nothing and I leave with nothing but love everything else is just borrowed I wanna speak every cliche But tweak if I see a change In the way it could be said If it's bleak or if the weeks leaking down the street or if any days wasted I wanna face facts The time on this earth is my only penny Wise is the gent counting every moment spent I don't want to explain things, don't wanna fill in the gaps I wanna look at my friends and in that minute be ap Memories are times we borrow for spending tomorrow Memories are times we borrow for spending tomorrow I came to this world with nothing and I leave with nothing but love everything else is just borrowed It's a bit like luck, you can only seem to borrow it, you can't keep it When the wind of change whistles into play, will I blink or flinch away The wind of change won't whistle me away if I spin my tails and sail, and sail away Let yesterday become today I came to this world with nothing and I leave with nothing but love everything else is just borrowed As time will say nothing, but, I told you so Memories are times we borrow for spending tomorrow
