Armand l'Enchanté - Borrowed Time Lyrics

[Intro]
Tick tock, digital clock
Love ain't what it used to be
In this chrome-plated mockery

[Verse 1]
Met her at the Cotton Club, dressed in blue
Her smile sparked like Times Square breaking through
But now our story's just another data point
Another profile in this smoky joint
Where lovers come and go like morning trains
And algorithms dance through lovers' brains

[Chorus]
Swipe right, swipe left, ain't that a crime?
When did romance become a paradigm?
Baby, we're more than zeroes and ones
More than matches that come undone
Give me that old-school romance tonight
Before our love gets digitized

[Verse 2]
Remember when we danced till dawn broke through?
Now it's just read receipts colored blue
They say connection's just a click away
But damn, I miss the good old-fashioned way
When love was measured by the heart's own beat
Not by the metrics on a digital sheet

[Bridge]
These brass notes cry out for yesterday
When passion wasn't something you could fade away
Like smoke rings in this jazz-filled room
Our love dissolved too damn soon

[Chorus]
Swipe right, swipe left, ain't that a crime?
When did romance become a paradigm?
Baby, we're more than zeroes and ones
More than matches that come undone
Give me that old-school romance tonight
Before our love gets digitized

[Outro]
So here's to Sophie, here's to what we had
Before the algorithms made me sad
In this digital age, I'll play these blues
'Cause baby, some things you just can't reduce
