Borrowed Time
Casper Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tired of all these one night stands
Baby would you take this dance
Still the same guy you knew
Still prefer these old white vans
I don’t own no fancy things
Can’t afford no diamond rings
Fucking round with my heart strings
I see
Everything through your fake smiles
Honesty
Ain’t easy when it’s been a while
Maybe you and me just went out of style
Don’t know how I missed the signs
Loving you on borrowed time
It’s alright
It’s ok
I’ll be fine either way
All my problems they fade
No good at righting my wrongs
Modesty
In your actions towards me
All these words set me free
This shit ain’t no love song
Not afraid to say I’m insecure
Twenty something and we both need more
I just threw away my keys
Promise I won’t ever lock my door
She been underneath my skin
I’m no good at letting people in
Not naive to how this goes
Old flings end to let new ones begin
But see I had one taste now I’m hooked
Sorta like when you see train wrecks you look
We both a mess so the companies good
I’m happy our story’s not by the book
I just want the type of love
That make the people stop and stare
yeah ay
Think she fit me like a glove
Too bad she’s still unaware
It’s alright
It’s ok
I’ll be fine either way
All my problems they fade
No good at righting my wrongs
Modesty
In your actions towards me
All these words set me free
This shit ain’t no love song
I see
Everything through your fake smiles
Honesty
Ain’t easy when it’s been a while
Maybe you and me just went out of style
I see
Everything through your fake smiles
Honesty
Ain’t easy when it’s been a while
Maybe you and me just went out of style
Don’t know how I missed the signs
Loving you on borrowed time
In "Borrowed Time," Casper Jones is reflecting on a relationship that is slowly coming to an end. He is tired of one-night stands and wants something more substantial with the person he's with. However, he feels tied down by his insecurities, and he recognizes that the relationship may be ending soon. He sees everything through her fake smiles and knows that honesty is not easy at this stage. He may be in love, but he acknowledges that they're "Loving on borrowed time."
The lyrics evoke a sense of vulnerability and fear of losing someone, but also a certain level of acceptance and self-awareness. Casper Jones admits to being insecure and uncertain, and he acknowledges that the relationship may not last. It's a song about facing the truth and accepting the impermanence of things.
One significant theme in the song is the idea of time. The title itself "borrowed time," refers to the idea that they are living on a borrowed time, and the relationship may end at any moment. It's a poignant reminder that nothing lasts forever and everything is temporary. In the end, the song is about cherishing the moment and loving someone despite knowing that it may end soon.

Baby would you take this dance
Will you be with me, will you commit?
Still the same guy you knew
I haven't changed, still the same person you loved before
Still prefer these old white vans
I don't need fancy things to be happy
I don’t own no fancy things
I don't have any expensive possessions
Can’t afford no diamond rings
I can't buy you expensive jewelry
She look like she dipped in gold
You look beautiful, worth more than gold
Fucking round with my heart strings
Playing with my emotions
I see
I understand
Everything through your fake smiles
I see past your fake happiness

Being truthful
Ain’t easy when it’s been a while
It's hard to be honest when it's been a long time
Maybe you and me just went out of style
We might not be 'in fashion' anymore
Don’t know how I missed the signs
I don't know how I didn't see the warning signs

This isn't a typical love song
Not afraid to say I’m insecure
I'm not scared to admit that I'm insecure
Twenty something and we both need more
We're still young and have so much more to experience
I just threw away my keys
I'm letting down my guard and giving you access to my heart
Promise I won’t ever lock my door
I won't shut you out
She been underneath my skin
I can't stop thinking about her
I’m no good at letting people in
It's hard for me to open up and let people into my life
Not naive to how this goes
I know how relationships often turn out
Old flings end to let new ones begin
Past relationships often lead to new ones
But see I had one taste now I’m hooked
I had one taste of love and now I can't get enough
Sorta like when you see train wrecks you look
Can't help but be intrigued, even when it's not good for you
We both a mess so the companies good
We're both not perfect, but we're good together
I’m happy our story’s not by the book
I like that our relationship is unique and not typical
I just want the type of love
I want a certain kind of love
That make the people stop and stare yeah ay
The kind of love that's so special it catches everyone's attention
Think she fit me like a glove
I think she's perfect for me
Too bad she’s still unaware
It's a shame she doesn't realize how great we could be together
