We've been living in a borrowed dream (Version 2) lyrics
Verse 1
I was sleeping in my best friend's bed
Cigarette smoke curling off the ceiling fan
You said we'd never find a place to call our own
Now you're married and I'm driving with the radio on
Same old song about growing up
Same worn jeans, same tired eyes
We were supposed to change the world by now
Chorus
But we've been living in a borrowed dream
A borrowed dream that only lasts so long
I never asked for it back
So let's just keep on running till our hearts aren't wrong
We're chasing something that don't belong
Something we'll never find till we turn this song off
Verse 2
Your wedding ring was glinting on the counter
Coffee stain on your favorite shirt again
I tried to be happy for you, I swear it's true
But every time you smile, a piece of me wants to stay
Same old town with new faces in the streets
Same tired bars playing the same worn tracks
We were supposed to leave this all behind
Chorus
But we've been living in a borrowed dream
A borrowed dream that only lasts so long
I never asked for it back
So let's just keep on running till our hearts aren't wrong
We're chasing something that don't belong
Something we'll never find till we turn this song off
Bridge
What if I told you I'm still here?
Still driving, still awake.
Same old engine, same old fire.
I never let it die.
Maybe home is wherever you are
And maybe that's not where we're supposed to be
So let's just keep on running, okay?
Just me and this borrowed song.
We'll chase the sunset, chase our dreams
Till they stop chasing us back.
That's what I'm trying to say.
