Blues Traveler - Borrowed Time lyrics

Oh precious life How you loved to lie to me So recklessly fragile So beyond my power to see And yet so demanding By making me believe That I am standing In the way of my own reprieve That all our days are numbered No matter the amount There's a first and then at last There is finally the fact That the numerals just don't count And all our time is borrowed No deposit, no return And no promise of tomorrow or the next day What was lent you can never earn If I took care of you And loved you all your days I'd still have to let you go Cause nothing ever stays You taught me to stand And then you left the job to me Now as a man I'm finally forced to see That all our days are numbered No matter the amount There's a first and then at last There is finally the fact That the numerals just don't count And all our time is borrowed No deposit, no return And no promise of tomorrow or the next day What was lent you can never earn What was lent you can never earn What was lent you can never earn What was lent you can never earn
