Beat the Clock - Could I Borrow

Every day I make these lists of things that absolutely have to get done
Funny, I have never written to myself "be sure to have fun"
Mother's getting older still she's got a lot of things to say
Those days when she'll be silent may seem violent
But they're days that aren't too far away

And I'd just love to sit and talk to you
But there's all these things I've got to do

Could I borrow just fourteen hours
Could I borrow

Future's on its way so every day I pave a road that I've been told is secure
But giving up my time for peace of mind that's not so peaceful
Leaves me not so sure
Maybe work that's never done
Is work that should've never begun
I find that I feel fine when I resign to walk in time
Instead of timing my run

And sometimes I think I think too much
Turn off my mind and let's tune in to touch

Could I borrow just fourteen hours
Could I borrow

So you ask me when this whole thing stops
Seems I won't slow 'til I drop
Like it or not because
Seems I won't slow 'til I drop

And sometimes I think I think too much
Turn off my mind and let's tune in to touch

Could I borrow just fourteen hours
Could I borrow
