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.
I packed my bags and looked to the west
Kissed her picture twenty times
Take some clothes and a deep breath
Go commit the perfect crime
I didn’t ask for much but now it’s much too late
If she can’t help me now then there’s no time to waste
I will not fail us now, if you just wait you’ll see
I will not let us down, I will get myself free
I will get myself free as the day that you found me
Before I got caught in this mess
That’s around me it won’t happen again
The first night I took one to the chest
Dancing on the borderline
I wrecked the mood and I must confess
Missed the picture every time
I didn’t ask for much but now it’s much too late
If she can’t help me now then there’s no time to waste
I will not fail us now, if you just wait you’ll see
I will not let us down, I will get myself free
I will get myself free as the day that you found me
Before I got caught in this mess that’s around me it won’t happen again
I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
And I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
(We write off love and then we’re off)
I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
And I guess it’s just like me to get real sentimental before I leave
(We write off love and then we’re off)
I didn’t ask for much but now it’s much too late
If she can’t help me now then there’s no time to waste
I will not fail us now, if you just wait you’ll see
I will not let us down, I will get myself free
I will get myself free, I will get myself
Free as the day that you found me
Before I got caught in this mess that’s around me
