Borrowed Time
A high-energy alternative rock anthem characterized by a driving 4/4 beat at 145 BPM. The arrangement features thick, distorted electric guitar layers playing power chords and syncopated riffs, supported by a prominent, gritty bassline. The drums are punchy with a heavy emphasis on the snare and crashing cymbals during the choruses. A soaring male tenor vocal delivers the melody with emotional intensity, utilizing a slight rasp and powerful belting in the higher register. The song structure follows a verse-pre-chorus-chorus pattern, with a notable instrumental bridge featuring a melodic guitar solo with wah-wah and delay effects. The mix is dense and modern, with wide-panned guitars and a centered, dry vocal presence that becomes more reverberant during the climactic final chorus.

Lyrics
You text me when she falls asleep
Our secret buried way too deep
I meet you where nobody knows
In hotel rooms with curtains closed
You touch me like you're running out
Of minutes stolen, filled with doubt
I taste the guilt upon your mouth
But still I let you take me south
I know exactly what this is
A stolen moment, borrowed bliss
I watch the clock, I know you'll leave
I steal the time I can't believe
Living on borrowed time with you
Every second stolen, never new
I watch the clock, I feel the cost
You're never mine, just briefly lost
You check your phone, I hold my breath
I steal the time till nothing's left
You leave your ring beside the bed
I memorize the things you said
Knowing they won't last for long
When you go back where you belong
I don't ask when I'll see you next
I read between your coded texts
You give me pieces, never whole
I take the scraps that feed my soul
Living on borrowed time with you
Every second stolen, never new
I watch the clock, I feel the cost
You're never mine, just briefly lost
You check your phone, I hold my breath
I steal the time till nothing's left
I steal the time…
that isn't mine
I watch you check your phone
I feel you pulling away
I steal the time…
that isn't mine
Living on borrowed time with you
Every second stolen, never new
I watch the clock, I feel the cost
You're never mine, just briefly lost
You check your phone, I hold my breath
I steal the time till nothing's left
I steal the time…
that isn't mine…
