Nicole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're still right here with me
I wish I could call in
And take off the rest of the week
I know your girl's thinkin'
Where the hell can you be?
But the good love that you're giving to me
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
We're still on borrowed time
Somehow I wish I'd find some way
To make you all mine and I mean only mine
You feel so good, how good? Too good
My heart says it's no use 'cause you're leavin' soon
We'll never get away
Still day by day
But it's killin' me, oh yes, it's killin' me
Cause I know that you're feelin' me, baby
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
We're still on borrowed time
You gotta stop callin' me
And tellin' me
I'm where you'd rather be
It's been nineteen weeks
And you're still playin' your games everyday, no
I would never ever want to hurt her, no no
So I'll take the initiative and let you go
Until you're ready to come home to me
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
Baby, the hardest thing is gonna be
Is gonna be getting over you so easy
You know when I gave you my all everyday
But it's best for all of us to move on
Cause no matter what I think we'll be
You'll never belong to me
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
We're still on borrowed time
Somehow, some way
All mine, only mine
So good, too good
Whoa, too much borrowed time
You don't belong to me
And I don't belong to you
No matter how hard we try
We're still on borrowed time
You still go home to her
So you can't belong to me
Although it feels so right
We're still on borrowed time
The lyrics of Nicole's song "Borrowed Time" explore the complex emotions of a woman who is caught up in an affair with a man who is already in a committed relationship. The song begins with the singer wishing that she could spend more time with her lover but acknowledging that he has other obligations. There is an implicit sense of frustration and sadness here, as she knows that the relationship they share is fleeting and that she cannot demand more from him than what he can give.
The chorus of the song ("You don't belong to me and I don't belong to you...") reinforces this idea of transience and reinforces the fact that their love is a temporary thing that they cannot hold on to forever. The second verse of the song adds more layers of complexity, with the singer expressing a desire to make her lover her own but knowing that it is impossible. The bridge ("You gotta stop callin' me and tellin' me...") further reinforces this idea of resignation and acceptance, as she tells her lover that she cannot keep indulging in their affair forever.
Overall, "Borrowed Time" is a poignant and emotionally powerful song that provides a window into the inner workings of an illicit love affair. It captures the feelings of longing, loss, and resignation that come with this kind of relationship and highlights the difficulty of balancing desire with practicality.
