None of us asked for a guarantee. We just woke up one day already living it.
"Borrowed Time" is about the sunrise nobody promised you, the person you haven't called back, the grudge you're still carrying like it's yours to keep forever. It's a reminder that everything the days, the people, the moments is on loan. Nothing here is ours to hold onto too tightly.
This one came from watching a stranger's funeral pass by and realizing how much of our own life we are spending on things that won't matter by the end of it. So this is a small attempt to spend it a little kinder instead.
Stripped back, just voice and guitar, nothing standing between the words and whoever's listening.
🎤 Lyrics: S Dsouza / Human Before Everything
If this one made you think of someone you should call, maybe go call them.

Nobody told me the clock was running
The day I opened up my eyes
I was busy chasing tomorrow
Forgot to notice today go by
We build our plans like they're permanent
Stack our worries up to the sky
Forgetting we're just passing through here
On a loan we never agreed to pay back
I watched a stranger's funeral pass me
Didn't know his name, didn't know his story
But somebody's whole world just went quiet
While mine kept moving, ordinary
Made me think about the things I'm holding
The grudges, the silence, the things unsaid
Made me think about the ones I'm losing
One quiet moment at a time instead
We're not owed another sunrise
We're not owed another name to call
We're just borrowing the moment
That's the truest thing of all
It's borrowed time, it's borrowed light
It's borrowed breath we're living out tonight
So say the thing, so hold the hand
Before it's someone else's turn to understand
It's borrowed time, it's borrowed time
Don't spend it building walls, don't spend it standing in line
It's borrowed time, it's borrowed time
Give it back a little kinder than you found it, that's all mine
We measure worth in things that vanish
Titles, money, borrowed pride
But nobody's ever taken any of it
Past the moment that they died
So what's it worth, the walls we're building
The distance that we keep so well
When all we're really renting
Is a handful of days, and nothing else to sell
If today's the only one that's certain
If tonight's the only one that's mine
Then let me spend it doing something
Worth the borrowing, worth the time
Let me spend it a little kinder
Let me spend it a little slow
Let me spend it like I mean it
Before it's time to go
It's borrowed time, it's borrowed light
It's borrowed breath we're living out tonight
So say the thing, so hold the hand
Before it's someone else's turn to understand
It's borrowed time, it's borrowed time
Give it back a little kinder than you found it
It's borrowed time, it's borrowed time
That's all it ever was, that's all it ever was
Borrowed time...
Give it back kinder.
