Lyrics

Borrowed Time

[Verse 1]

When I was younger

Living confusion and deep despair

When I was younger, ah huh

Living illusion of freedom and power

When I was younger

Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)

When I was younger, ah huh

Everything simple but not so clear

[Chorus]

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

[Verse 2]

Now I am older

The more that I see the less that I know for sure

Now I am older, ah huh

The future is brighter and now is the hour

[Chorus]

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

[Verse 3]

Good to be older

Would not exchange a single day or a year

Good to be older, ah huh

Less complication everything clear

[Chorus]

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Oh yes

It all seemed so bloody easy then

You know like

What to wear very serious like you know

How am i gona get rid of the pimples

Does she really love me

All that crap

But now I don't bother about that shit no more

I know she loves me

All I gotta bother about is standing up
