Borrowed Time - Charley Crockett

Every fight needs mending, every start has an end Like the sunrise and the sunset, that's just how it is Love on borrowed time will never be yours nor mine I need you like you need me the way we ought to be Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last a lifetime This bitterness inside is an empty space I hide It never satisfies living my life in a lie Love on borrowed time will never be yours nor mine I'll just close my eyes, and it will be alright Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last a lifetime Now that you've gone away You seem so close, but you're miles and miles away Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last Oh, it's good to be true If our hopes and dreams come true Wish that I had more Of this borrowed time If only it would last a lifetime

Get in my heart Get in my eyes Open the door Into the light Open your arms Open your eyes Open your heart What will there be left When you're not here to carry me home What will there be left When you're not here to steady my shaking bones What would there be left? I'm killing my borrowed time I'm killing my borrowed time I'm killing my borrowed time What will there be left When the tide rolls in and swallows you whole What will there be left When the light within Hey, I'll cut your throat How little your money's worth Like a bird into a jet plane I'm bringing you back to earth Killing my borrowed time I'm killing my borrowed time It's been a long time coming Don't look so surprised It's the death of all loving Let's go out on a high I'm killing my borrowed time, yes

I'm not ready I'm I'm not ready Living off borrowed time, the clock tick faster That'd be the hour they knock the slick blaster Dick Dastardly and Muttley with sick laughter A gun fight and they come to cut the mixmaster I-C-E cold, nice to be old Y2G stee twice to threefold He sold scrolls, lo and behold Know who's the illest ever like the greatest story told Keep your glory, gold and glitter For half, half of his niggas'll take him out the picture The other half is rich and it don't mean shit-ta Villain a mixture between both with a twist of liquor Chase it with more beer, taste it like truth or dare When he have the mic, it's like the get like, "Aw yeah!" It's like they know what's 'bout to happen Just keep ya eye out, like "Aye, aye captain" Is he still a fly guy clapping if nobody ain't hear it And can they testify from inner spirit, no In living, the true gods Giving y'all nothing but the lick like two broads Got more than the church got "Ooh Lords" And he hold the mic and your attention like two swords Or even one with two blades on it Hey you, don't touch the mic like it's AIDS on it It's like the end to the means Fucked type of message that sends to the fiends That's why he brings his own needles And get more cheese than Doritos, Cheetos or Fritos Slip like Freudian Your first and last step to playing yourself like accordion When he had the mic you don't go next Leaving pussy cats like why hoes need Kotex Exercise index, won't need Bowflex And won't take the one with no skinny legs like Joe Tex I hope y'all know what time it is now, but fuck that Go to the next shit
