Borrowed Time Lyrics

When I was younger
Living confusion and deep despair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power

When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older ah hah
The future is brighter and now is the hour

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complications everything clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

I love this song. My favorite part is in the middle when he starts talking about all the "shit" you worry about when your young like "pimples and does she love me"...................."now i knw she loves me" Great song, Great man

I think the message here is really layed out simply, he's happy being older in comparison to the confusion of being a teenager. I wish whoever typed the lyrics included the shit you had to worry and the jibberish at the end, that's the best part!
