Lyrics
**Verse 1:**
We're all living on borrowed time
Counting coins we never earned
Every sunrise is a loan, my love
Every lesson left to learn
So why would I spend a single day
Doing anything but this—
Holding you in the morning light
Starting every day with a kiss
**Chorus:**
Borrowed time, borrowed time
We're making the most of borrowed time
Every hour's a gift we didn't ask for
Every minute's a reason to shine
Borrowed time, borrowed time
And I'm so glad you're spending yours with mine
**Verse 2:**
They say tomorrow's never promised
Well, neither was today
So I'm cashing in on every moment
Before it slips away
The bills are piling on the counter
But the sunset doesn't charge
Let's go dancing on the borrowed time
Living small, loving large
**Chorus:**
Borrowed time, borrowed time
We're making the most of borrowed time
Every hour's a gift we didn't ask for
Every minute's a reason to shine
Borrowed time, borrowed time
And I'm so glad you're spending yours with mine
**Bridge:**
(Melodic peak)
La-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la
(Repeat with harmonies)
**Final Chorus:**
Borrowed time, borrowed time
We're making the most of borrowed time
Every second, every heartbeat
Every moment by design
Borrowed time, borrowed time
I'm so glad you're spending yours
So glad you're spending yours
So glad you're spending yours with mine
