Borrowed Light

[Verse 1] The blinds are full of gold Dust moving slow in the bars of light I took the back wall again While you dragged chairs into place A borrowed amp hums low Coats piled up like tired old wings You said, "Count it in" So I let the room do its thing [Pre-Chorus] I was half a closed door Half a bad sign But your voices found me On the other side [Chorus] Borrowed light, borrowed light You held it up and I saw mine Borrowed light, borrowed light I can see the road tonight I was stuck in my own head Now I'm standing here instead Borrowed light, borrowed light You passed it down, I held on tight [Verse 2] The tape on the floor Peels up at the corners by the kick drum stand One cracked mirror on the wall And a coffee stain on the score sheets You missed the first count twice Then laughed like it didn't matter much That small, rough start Was enough to pull me up [Pre-Chorus] I was miles from tomorrow Busy looking down Then your hands made a map Out of a shaky sound [Chorus] Borrowed light, borrowed light You held it up and I saw mine Borrowed light, borrowed light I can see the road tonight I was stuck in my own head Now I'm standing here instead Borrowed light, borrowed light You passed it down, I held on tight [Bridge] Sing it low Let it breathe I don't need much Just this room and you and me If I fade Call me back I know my way now When your voices do that [Chorus] Borrowed light, borrowed light You held it up and I saw mine Borrowed light, borrowed light I can see the road tonight I was stuck in my own head Now I'm standing here instead Borrowed light, borrowed light You passed it down, I held on tight [Chorus] Borrowed light, borrowed light Every small hand made it bright Borrowed light, borrowed light And it stayed with me all night I was gone for a while Now I'm looking up, alive Borrowed light, borrowed light You passed it down, I held on tight
