Borrowed Time
Jack Hawitt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Overall Meaning

owhere's really safe tonight
The feeling's calling me outside
But there's nothing out there
For me to find
All the good ones
Are all going to bed
And all the rest
Are pretending to be dead

In these lyrics, Jack Hawitt is expressing his feelings of restlessness and the need to escape from the safety and comfort of his current surroundings. He feels a strong pull to go outside and explore, but he is aware that he may not find what he is looking for. The mention of the "good ones" going to bed and the "rest" pretending to be dead could be interpreted as his struggle to find authentic connections and experiences.

The mood of the song is introspective and somewhat melancholic, as the lyrics suggest a sense of isolation and disillusionment. However, the instrumentation and vocals are also emotive and captivating, creating a beautiful and haunting atmosphere.

We can’t do this again
Wish that I could stay
But I hear new horizons calling
I hope that you don’t fade
Become another face
I only see when you can haunt me

Knew when we started
Not to put my heart in
But I don’t wanna
Don’t wanna hurt ya’
Now that I’m leaving
I can’t help the feeling
I’m sorry but I
I’ve fallen for ya’

I can’t seem
To even want to walk away
We both know that
We’ve been counting down the days
Makes it even harder
Every time we say goodbye
‘Cuz we both know it’s borrowed time

Oh oh, oh oh
Yeah, we both know
It’s borrowed time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Yeah, we both know
It's borrowed time

Will you still think of me
When you’re drifting to sleep
And will that make you happy?
‘Cuz when I think of you
The way that I do
Oh, I’ll never let it go

Knew when we started
Not to put my heart in
But I don’t wanna
Don’t wanna hurt ya’
Now that I’m leaving
I can’t help the feeling
I’m sorry but I
I’ve fallen for ya’
I can’t seem
To even want to walk away
We both know that
We’ve been counting down the days
Makes it even harder
Every time we say goodbye
‘Cuz we both know it’s borrowed time

Oh oh, oh oh
Yeah, we both know
It’s borrowed time
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Yeah, we both know
It's borrowed time
