This song could be about a billion different things ending but I think I have 2 good ideas

One, Robert might have been writing about not having anything more to write/sing about and that everything he writes about now is just a lie because it doesn't come easy to him anymore.

Two, Or I'm sure most of us will interpret it into a relationship type setting...I can see how the lyrics work that someone asked someone else out or were going out and that person has been rejected.

I really don't think the song is about "borrowed time" and knowing it is about to end. I think the song is more of a surprise, "this isn't how it's supposed to be" type song. Any day of summer is never cold...but this one is. It's a shock...you can hear the pain in his voice and the verses.
