Borrowed Time
Cueshé - Topic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Every fight needs mending
Every start has an end
Like the sunrise and the sunset
That's just how it is

Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
I need you like you need me
The way we ought to be

Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.

This bitterness inside
Is an empty space I hide
It never satisfies
Living my life in a lie

Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
I'll just close my eyes
And it will be alright

Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.

Now that you've gone away
You seem so close
But you're miles and miles away

Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last.

Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last.

Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more




Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Borrowed Time by Cueshé touch upon the transient nature of life and love. The opening lines suggest that every conflict requires reconciliation and that every beginning inevitably leads to an end, much like the natural rhythm of the sunrise and sunset. This sets the tone for the overarching theme of impermanence and the fleeting nature of time.


The chorus delves into the concept of love on borrowed time, hinting at a love that is not meant to last. The lyrics poignantly express a longing for a love that could be truly reciprocated, emphasizing the mutual need and desire between two individuals. The notion of borrowed time implies that the relationship is precarious and bound to fade away eventually, despite the yearning for it to endure.


As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the transient nature of happiness and fulfillment. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the temporary nature of love and the elusive nature of genuine contentment. The bitterness and emptiness described suggest a feeling of inadequacy and disillusionment, hinting at a longing for a deeper connection that remains unfulfilled.


The final verses convey a sense of longing and distance, highlighting the painful separation from a loved one. The lyrics evoke a sense of yearning and a desire for a love that transcends physical or emotional barriers. The repetition of the desire for more borrowed time emphasizes the fleeting nature of happiness and the constant yearning for something more enduring. Overall, Borrowed Time encapsulates the bittersweet reality of love, acknowledging its fleeting nature while expressing a profound longing for a deeper, more lasting connection.

Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.
