borrowed time

If you survive some situation where you would have otherwise did were it not for some miracle of God then your entire life after that point is said to be borrowed time.

A man walks across a street without looking both ways when he accidently steps on a bottle, that happened to be rolling by, and falls straight down. Exactly half a speeding truck passes in front of him, only missing by inches. This man is living on borrowed time because if it hadn't been for the bottle rolling by at that exact moment he would have been smashed like a caterpillar eating your grandmas favorite rose bush.

We have a borrowed ladder who has infiltrated Gattaca and has been mascarading as one of it employees.

borrowed light

If you are in a room with no windows or other direct sources of light, and if light enters from an adjoining lighted room, the indirect illumination is borrowed light.

We worked in the library and had only the borrowed light from the adjacent room to work with that night.

borrowed time

Generally used by old people of themselves. They're living longer than they're "supposed to", hence they're living on borrowed time.

My 90th birthday is approaching. I feel like I'm living on borrowed time.
