Lyric

Paper cups left on the front steps

Lost keys found at sunrise

Stayed up just to see the dawn

Stairwell songs and constant laughter

We swore we’d make it someday

Learning how not to fall apart

No second thoughts

And nothing could steal our fire

Months passing by

It felt like the year just started

Then we grew up

And jobs pulled us apart in the end

Friends scattered into new towns all at once

We were living on borrowed time

Never thinking of what could lie beyond or go wrong

Now I see it within the glow

Like a dream I didn’t know was nearly halfway done

Now it’s meetings and long car rides

And huge sips of coffee

But my mind still slips back there

When I hear that old song start up

Names pop up like ghosts again

I smile like we never moved away

Time showed me

How much the small things matter

No warnings, just the rush of feeling free

Back then we

Never stopped to read the signs

Till the town became a memory for us

We were living on borrowed time

Never thinking of what could lie beyond or go wrong

Now I see it within the glow

Like a dream I didn’t know was nearly halfway done

Now it’s quiet, but I still hear

All our voices in the hall before we moved away

We were living on borrowed time

Never asking what could lie beyond or go wrong

Now I see it within the glow

Like a dream I didn’t know was nearly halfway done
