Borrowed Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was feeling nostalgic
For the days when
my thoughts dripped
On to my head from the ceiling

I remember the feeling
Of the museless existence

Of the drunk, bored, and listless
Endless waiting for something
That I knew wasn't coming

[Chorus]
And it seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this

[Verse 2]
I was up to my neck in
Motivation neglect when

I felt soft waves of purpose
Crashing onto the surface

I was feeling nostalgic
For the days when
my thoughts dripped
On to my head from the ceiling

I remember the feeling
[Chorus]
And it seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And it seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this borrowed time
Seems these days I'm captive in this

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Parquet COURTS ARE AN AWESOME GARAGE ROCK GROUP FROM NEW YORK VIA TEXAS/BOSTON. They remind me of modern lovers and gun club with interesting narrative songs that seem based on the average 20 something’s existence
