Borrowed Time lyrics

When I was younger

Living confusion and deep despair

When I was younger ah-hah

Living illusion of freedom and power

When I was younger

Full of ideals and broken dreams [my friend]

When I was younger ah-hah

Everything simple but not so clear

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Now I am older

The more that I see the less that I know for sure

Now I am older ah-hah

The future is brighter and now is the hour

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Good to be older

Would not exchange a single day or a year

Good to be older ah-hah [you bet]

Less complications everything clear

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

Living on borrowed time

Without a thought for tomorrow

[Oh yes it all seemed so bloody easy then.

You know, like, what's a word?

How do I get rid of the pimples?

Does she really love me?

All that crap.

But now I don't bother with that shit no more;

I know she loves me!

All I got to bother about is standing up.

All right you can get out of here]
