From the recording Borrowed Time
"Borrowed Time" is a cinematic song dealing with the emotional struggle of a fabricated love. It begins with a fairytale-esque piano laying the foundation for gentle vocals that peak dramatically in an emotive dynamic chorus. “Borrowed Time” is KRISTOPHER’s second release following his debut single “Liar”, carrying on the theme of vulnerability explored in his debut album planned for release in summer 2021.

Lyrics
Wait, can I stay
I don’t want to be afraid
Put your hands back on my waist
Kiss me let’s escape
The way you made me laugh
Isn’t easy to forget
And your lips on my neck
I’d want it all again
I love you is broken
This kisses feel cold and
I think of how this night will end
I wake up and you’re gone again
Yet I can’t help it
This moment’s still perfect
Your eyes meet mine
I’m yours tonight
It’s worth it but it’s borrowed time
It’s borrowed
Happy for a night
Even though it’s in my mind
Is it worth it for a time
Feeling like you’re mine
Wait for a word
Disappointed it’s not yours
Addicted, that’s absurd
But could I close the door
I love you is broken
This kisses feel cold and
I think of how this night will end
I wake up and you’re gone again
Yet I can’t help it
This moment’s still perfect
Your eyes meet mine I’m yours tonight
It’s worth it but it’s borrowed time
It’s borrowed time
Regret either way
If he goes, if he stays
The memories that we make
Will still cause my heartbreak
