Lyrics
Borderline
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you're on youre own,
Looking down the road,
That goes only by one name,
And you don't need the signs,
To see lonely still runs both ways,
So who's the fool that would think the ties would be
better off undone,
Did you heart heed the warning,
When you veered from the path,
That was narrower and straight.
Chorus:
On the borderline,
Somewhere between that plight for freedom,
Feeling like you can't move on,
The toll will be the time,
Takes you off of my mind,
And out of my heart I know,
And when you cross over,
There's no turning back,
Once that burning bridge is gone.
I may lose,
But I'm in it for the long run,
Loving you,
For good reason could be the wrong one,
I don't wanna lose control,
But the heart won't learn,
To let it dwell and not forlorn.
Chorus:
On the borderline,
Somewhere between that plight for freedom,
Feeling like you can't move on,
The toll will be the time,
Takes you off of my mind,
And out of my heart I know,
And when you cross over,
There's no turning back,
Once that burning bridge is gone.
So you're on your own,
Looking down the road,
That goes only by one name
