Lyrics

BORROWED © Savannah Philyaw & Nitanee Paris

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

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

[Repeat Chorus]

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

[Repeat Chorus]
