Story behind the song
Life is transient- conciousness is ephemeral; we fall in and out of love but the world continues to turn and the ocean will lap at our feet.
Lyrics
BREATHING ON BORROWED TIME Words and Music by Karena Wynn-Moylan. c. 1998
V1. Sea Green, sky blue
Things that turn inwardly, silently.
Secrets and Lies,
And revelations.
Down on my knees,
My head in the clouds and you're telling me
You don't know,
How could you know,
REFRAIN:
When you're Breathing on Borrowed Time.
Breathing On Borrowed Time
Stealing this feeling,
Breathing.
V2. Torn into three,
Hearts flutter, fall to the floor,
And are found ,shivering and wise,
Seeking advice.
Breezes trail words.
Waves beckon drawn to the ocean's edge , we're poised
Waiting for flight.
We wake through the night.
And we're Breathing On Borrowed Time,
Breathing on Borrowed Time,
Stealing , this feeling,
Breathing.
BRIDGE:
We're Breathing, Breathing,
Stealing this time together
We're stealing, feeling,
Feelings should last forever,
We're Breathing, Breathing,
Stealing this time forever,
We're stealing , feeling,
We're Breathing our time,
It should last forever, forever , forever.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - 8 BARS
You know we're
Breathing on Borrowed Time
Breathing on Borrowed Time
Stealing this feeling
Breathing.
