Borrowed Time
Lisa Savidge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My haunted lungs
Ghost in the sheets
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
My wicked tongue, where will it be?
I know if I'm on to you, I'm on to you
On to you, I'm on to you
On to you, you must be on to me

You want me?
I walk down the hallway
You lucky?
The bedroom's the wrong way
Slap me, I'm pinned to the doorway
Kiss, bite, foreplay

My haunted lungs
Ghost in the sheets
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
My wicked tongue, where will it be?
I know if I'm on to you
You must be on to me

It's what we see
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
It's where we go
It's where we'll be
I know if I'm on to you, I'm on to you
On to you, I'm on to you

You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)
You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)
You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)
You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)

Me (onto you, I'm onto you)
Me (onto you, I'm onto you)
Me (onto you, I'm onto you)




Me (onto you, I'm onto you)
Me (onto you, I'm onto you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lisa Savidge's song "Borrowed Time" create a suspenseful and eerie atmosphere, focusing on haunting and being haunted. The opening line, "My haunted lungs, ghost in the sheets," suggests that the singer is experiencing both physical and emotional discomfort, perhaps due to a past trauma or a haunting presence. The repetition of "I know if I'm haunting you, you must be haunting me" reinforces the idea of a reciprocal haunting, as though two people are caught in a cycle of emotional torment.


The second verse adds a sexual element to the song, with the lines "Slap me, I'm pinned to the doorway/Kiss, bite, foreplay." This could be interpreted as the singer trying to escape the haunting through physical pleasure, but ultimately not being able to break free from the haunting presence.


The chorus repeats the same lines about haunting and being haunted, but adds the phrase "It's what we see, it's where we go, it's where we'll be," which could suggest a sense of inevitability or even destiny in this haunting relationship.


Overall, the lyrics of "Borrowed Time" evoke a sense of unease and mysteriousness, exploring the idea of haunting both literally and metaphorically.

>> Siempre es agradable escuchar su análisis reflexivo y lógico. 👌👌 No me importa si el mercado es alcista o bajista. Opere un pequeño porcentaje de su cartera en lugar de operar cada pocas semanas para saber cuándo el mercado operó bien porque pude ganar más de 4.8 BTC en solo unas pocas semanas comenzando con 0.8 BTC, implementando George Tokens Ferguson y Daily Tips. ..

Me he encontrado con innumerables comerciantes que dicen ser buenos y tienen señales productivas, pero todos han fallado. También probé las señales de Ferguson y hasta ahora han sido mucho mejores que cualquiera que haya usado antes.
