Civilian Borrowed
Trek around the world
Running from anything and everything that hurts
Or wants to fix me
I am telling you the truth
I know that I may look the part but I am proof
There is no magic
It's the sure bet that we all lost
It's the one shot that you passed up
And kept passing on, you keep passing on
Every word is borrowed, baby
Every word's on loan
From ladies I have kissed before
But quickly came to loathe
I'm willing to admit you had me shaking
Both the terror and the hope
Appear concentric with the thing I want the most
A magic bullet that assures me love is real
And worth the trouble
It's the sure bet that we all lost
It's the one shot that you passed up
Every word is borrowed, baby
Every word's on loan
From ladies I have kissed before
But quickly came to loathe
Every word is borrowed, baby
I promise that I'm trying to save you the guesswork
I promise I'm not trying to waste your time
I couldn't want you when I could still have you
I didn't want you if I could still have you
Every word is borrowed, baby
Every word is borrowed
Every word is borrowed, baby
Everything's on loan
From ladies I have kissed before
But quickly came to loathe
Every word is borrowed, baby
Every word's on loan
Every word is borrowed, baby
Every word's on loan
You're thing I want the most (you're thing I want the most)
You're thing I want the most (show me love is real)
You're thing I want the most (you're worth the trouble)
You're thing I want the most
