Lyrics

Here in a borrowed house With a borrowed key to a borrowed door I look at my borrowed neighbors From a borrowed room with a borrowed view And outside the clock is ticking There's a man with a gun and a cord of wood But I'm dancing under streetlights Wanting me a piece of sisterhood Where did it go? Where did I land? Everything's worth giving chances Like short romances and forgotten dances I'm making borrowed noises Giving her my borrowed peace of mind And I'm borrowing her time Counting down the hours tick-tock ticking away She's giving me her fingers Whistling along to my every word And I'm giving her my freedom Knowing she will fly like a broken bird Where did it go? Where did we land? Everything's worth giving chances Like short romances and forgotten dances And I'm leaving my home number They can call me if they want to but I'll be gone My footprints and my shadows Will be left to show where I don't belong I'm borrowing a line from a secondhand poem And a worn out boot And some experience from a well-used life In a used up suit
