From the recording Borrowed
Lyrics
"Borrowed" [Lyrics]
Verse 1:
I remember the summer when
I was only turning ten
Lost in a book of poetry
That my old friend had lent to me
I had that book until the fall
Eight hundred pages, I read them all
I kept it close for some time
But I knew it wasn’t mine
Chorus:
It was borrowed, borrowed
Everything I hold onto
Borrowed, borrowed
‘Cause I’m only passing through
‘Cause I’m only passing through
I’m only passing through
Verse 2:
And I remember the day we met
Caught in the rain, soaking wet
Found cover inside a small cafe
And talked as the hours swept us away
You were an artist and I played guitar
I wrote you a song and you drew on my heart
But you were destined for the stars
And forever wasn’t ours
Chorus:
It was borrowed, borrowed
Everything I hold onto
Borrowed, borrowed
‘Cause I’m only passing through
‘Cause I’m only passing through
I’m only passing through
Bridge:
I’ll seize the day until it’s gone
I’ll treat it well then pass it on
I’ll seize the day until it’s gone
I’ll treat it well then pass it on
Chorus:
It was borrowed, borrowed
It was borrowed, borrowed
‘Cause I’m only passing through
It was borrowed, borrowed
Everything I hold onto
Borrowed, borrowed
‘Cause I’m only passing through
I’m only passing through
Cause’ I’m only passing through
I’m only passing through
I’m only passing through
