[Verse 1] Pink sky on the bus stop glass Your shadow leans, then slips past You laugh like you already know How quick the small things go Paper cup in your left hand A thumbprint ring in the sand We don’t trade names, just a glance And a little borrowed chance [Pre-Chorus] The air turned sweet, then thin Like it was about to begin You looked at me, I looked away Still, something stayed [Chorus] Borrowed bubbles in the pink sky Hold them up, then watch them fly For a second, we were light Then they vanished in the light Borrowed bubbles, don’t ask why We let the moment pass us by But I can still see you there Drifting nowhere, drifting near [Verse 2] Your sleeve caught on the chain-link gate Mine held the breath that I could save A dog barked once from down the block And broke the world to ticking clocks You said, “That color feels like sleep” I said, “It’s deeper than it seems” Then your smile hit the fading day And the whole edge slipped away [Pre-Chorus] The street got soft and slow Like it didn’t want to know We stood there, almost brave Almost saved [Chorus] Borrowed bubbles in the pink sky Hold them up, then watch them fly For a second, we were light Then they vanished in the light Borrowed bubbles, don’t ask why We let the moment pass us by But I can still see you there Drifting nowhere, drifting near [Bridge] Maybe that’s all we get A warm breath and a silhouette Two strangers on a passing road With nothing to keep, nothing to hold And I don’t call it lost If it left me feeling less alone Some things live best In the space before they’re gone [Final Chorus] Borrowed bubbles in the pink sky Hold them up, then watch them fly For a second, we were light Then they vanished in the light Borrowed bubbles, don’t ask why We let the moment pass us by But I keep the evening there Soft as sugar, soft as air [Outro] Pink sky, gone gold Your face, gone slow One last shine Then I let it go
