Borderline lyrics

[Intro]

Ahh

[Verse 1]

Gone a little far

Gone a little far this time for somethin'

How was I to know?

How was I to know this dark emotion?

[Chorus]

We're on the borderline

Caught between the tides of pain and rapture

Possibly a sign

I'm gonna have the strangest night on Sunday

[Verse 2]

There I go

Quite a show for a loner in L.A.​

Askin' how I managed to end up in this place

And I couldn't get away

[Chorus]

We're on the borderline

Dangerously far and all forgiven

There's gonna be a fight

Gonna be a price to pay on Monday

(If you and I get comfortable)

We're on the borderline (On the borderline)

Caught between the tides of pain and rapture

Then I saw the time (Then I saw the time)

Watched it speedin' by like a train

Like a train

[Bridge]

Will I be known and loved?

Is there one that I trust?

Starting to sober up

Has it been long enough?

Will I be known and loved?

Little closer, close enough

I'm a loser, loosen up

Set it free, must be tough

Will I be known and loved?

Is there one that I trust?

If there's room, room for doubt

As within, as without ya'

Will I be so in love?

Gettin' closer, close enough

Shout out to what is done

R.I.P., here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

[Verse 3]

Gone a little far, gone a little far

This time with something

How could I have known?

How was I to know this dark emotion?

I said, "Come with me outside"

Need to clear my mind

This weight is crushing

Do you see the light, oh

Coming from their eyes? Oh no

And I couldn't get away

[Chorus]

We're on the borderline (Ooh)

Gets me every time

These close encounters

Just to know I can (Just to know I can)

Once again I am alone

[Outro]

Will I be known and loved?

Is there one that I trust?

Starting to sober up

Has it been long enough?

Will I be known and loved?

Little closer, close enough

I'm a loser, loosen up

Set it free, must be tough (I was fine without ya)

Will I be known and loved?

L.A. really messed me up

And it isn't cut and dry

Conversation, well I tried (I was fine without ya)

Will I be? Stay right here

Any closer, bad idea

Shout out to what is done

R.I.P., here comes the sun (I was fine without ya)

Will I be known and loved?

Is there one that I trust?

Starting to sober up

Has it been long enough?
