Borrowed Time Lyrics - North Hollywood Shootout - Blues Traveler

Oh, precious life 

How you loved to lie to me 

So recklessly fragile 

So beyond my power to see 

And yet so demanding 

By making me believe 

That I am standing 

In the way of my own reprieve 

That all our days are numbered 

No matter the amount 

Well, there's a first and then at last 

There is finally the fact 

That the numerals just don't count 

And all our time is borrowed 

No deposit, no return 

And no promise of tomorrow or the next day 

What was lent you can never earn 

If I took care of you 

And loved you all your days 

I'd still have to let you go 

Cause nothing ever stays 

You taught me to stand 

And then you left the job to me 

Now as a man 

I'm finally forced to see 

That all our days are numbered 

No matter the amount 

Well, there's a first and then at last 

There is finally the fact 

That the numerals just don't count 

And all our time is borrowed 

No deposit, no return 

And no promise of tomorrow or the next day 

What was lent you can never earn 

What was lent you can never earn 

What was lent you can never earn 

What was lent you can never earn
