The Streets - Everything Is Borrowed lyrics
[The Streets - Everything Is Borrowed lyrics]
This is my hour, I'm never going to bed
The sky is still black, but begs to be red
I just put my book down
But it begs to be read
I'll not nod, I'll not nap
I never rest my head some days I feel I'm
Getting smaller and smaller but some nights
I seem to grow taller and taller
And we keep shrinking and shrinking
But this will not finish
You're never nothing if you didn't disappear
Just when I discover the meaning of life
They change it just when I'm loving life
It seems to start raining
I pull the sail safe switch, seas settle
And I'm aimed at stars
I love the rain on my scars
The sky's 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
Passed 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've passed without notice
I saw details that to all were 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 want to speak every cliché but
Tweak if I see change
In a new way it could be said if it's bleak
Or if the week's leaking down the street
Or if any day is wasted, I wanna face facts
My 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 want to fill in the gaps
I want to look at my friends
And in that minute be at
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, and 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
The sky is still black, but begs to be red
I just put my book down
But it begs to be read
I'll not nod, I'll not nap
I never rest my head some days I feel I'm
Getting smaller and smaller but some nights
I seem to grow taller and taller
And we keep shrinking and shrinking
But this will not finish
You're never nothing if you didn't disappear
Just when I discover the meaning of life
They change it just when I'm loving life
It seems to start raining
I pull the sail safe switch, seas settle
And I'm aimed at stars
I love the rain on my scars
The sky's 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
Passed 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've passed without notice
I saw details that to all were 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 want to speak every cliché but

Or if any day is wasted, I wanna face facts

Don't want to fill in the gaps

Memories are times we borrow
