There's more to life
You're borderline
See the world
Take a chance
And start livin' life…
The world's hectic and it's crazy,
mad people are shady,
It's hard to trust my boy,
Even hard to trust my lady
but lately I been thinkin'
that the world's gone mad,
cause no matter what you get
you wantin' more than you have
but as time goes by it gets easier to see
the best things in life don't cost, they come free
seen friends turn to enemies , and enemies to friends
There's more to life, we'll find out when it ends
I see so much of you in me, and it's so scary
That without you my world seems so incomplete
Something's telling you to go, find out what you don't know
It's your time to arrive, don't be a no show
Cause there's more to life, than just getting by
We're borderline, trying to survive
See the world, open your eyes
Take a chance, and start livin' life 2x
I don't believe it till I see it,
I hate to be misleaded
B.S. I don't need it,
Man, I'll never be conceided
stop ya talkin'
If you aint ready for the walkin'
ball in my court
And you still think ya ballin'
My calling is to make sure the fakes keep fallin'
to keep on walking while the phony cats are brawlin'
I'm drawing up a plan, to make people understand
it don't pay to play , stay true to what you say
I see so much of you in me, and it's so scary
That without you my world seems so incomplete
Something's telling you to go, find out what you don't know
It's your time to arrive, don't be a no show
Cause there's more to life, than just getting by
We're borderline, trying to survive
See the world, open your eyes
Take a chance, and start livin' life 2x
There's more to life, you're borderline, why don't you open up your eyes
Look at what you have, Is it all that bad? Open up your eyes.
Do more than survive, live your life , above the borderline
Whoa I, at least try, to show up on time
