Borrowed Time
Embracing Fate: A Fine Frenzy's Poetic Journey on Borrowed Time
Lyrics
Thick as thieves the last of leaves
Strongly bonded, like close companions, the final remaining leaves
In the winter sun
Under the winter sunlight
Holding fast this freezing branch
Clutching tightly to this icy branch
Is home to us
Represents our dwelling place
Step, step right over the line
Take a step over the boundary
And onto borrowed time
Transitioning into a period that is not guaranteed
When it's life, not waiting to die
Life is about living, not merely waiting for death
Waiting to divide to divide
Anticipating separation or division
Counting stars and passing cars
Observing celestial bodies and vehicles passing by
On the interstate
On the highway
The end is near I feel it dear
Sensing the proximity of the end, yet lacking fear
But I am not afraid
Despite the nearness of the end, there's no fear
Step, step right over the line
Crossing a boundary, moving into uncertain or borrowed time
And onto borrowed time
Transitioning into a period that is not guaranteed
When it's life, not waiting to die
Life is about living, not merely waiting for death
Waiting to divide to divide
Anticipating separation or division
But you say you're getting tired
Expressing weariness, feeling fatigued
You're tired and so am I
Both parties are tired
When you follow from behind
When you come after or follow someone
Step, step right over the line
Stepping into an uncertain or borrowed time
And onto borrowed time
Transitioning into a period that is not guaranteed
When it's life, not waiting to die
Life is about living, not merely waiting for death
Waiting to divide to divide
Anticipating separation or division
But you say you're getting tired
Expressing weariness, feeling fatigued
You're tired and so am I
Both parties are tired
When you follow from behind
When you follow someone from behind
