Lyrics

Borrowed Time

Do we need to start a war?
Do we need to take a side?
If we open up our eyes
Realize that we are dying
Is it all worth fighting for?
It all comes down to

Who's wrong or right
Who's black or white
It doesn't matter what you're bleeding for
Straight or bi or
God almighty
Doesn't matter underneath it all

'Cause we're only here to love
Like there's no tomorrow
So let's live each moment like
Our time is only borrowed

Our time is only borrowed
Our time is only borrowed

Do we need to build a bomb?
Do we need to fire a gun?
If you have to stand your ground
It's a war that can't be won
Is it all worth dying for?
It all comes down to

Who's rich or poor
Virgin or whore
It doesn't matter what you're praying for
Death or life
Your truth almighty
Doesn't matter underneath it all

'Cause we're only here to love
Like there's no tomorrow
So let's live each moment like
Our time is only borrowed

Our time is only borrowed

It all comes down to
Who's rich or poor
Virgin or whore
It doesn't matter what you're praying for
Death or life
Your truth almighty
Doesn't matter underneath it all

'Cause we're only here to love
Like there's no tomorrow
So let's live each moment like
Our time is only borrowed

Our time is only borrowed

Our time is only borrowed
