"Borderline" lyrics
(Single Version)
Gone a little far
Gone a little far this time for something
How was I to know?
How was I to know this high came rushing?
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
There I go
Quite a show for a loner in L.A.
Asking how I managed to end up in this place
And I couldn't get away
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 speeding by like a train
Like a train
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
Setting 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 you
Will I be so in love?
Any closer, close enough
Shout out to what is done?
R.I.P., here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
Gone a little far
Gone a little far this time with something
How could I have known?
How was I to know this high came rushing?
I said, "Come with me outside
I 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."
We're on the borderline
Gets me every time
These close encounters
Just to know I can
(Just to know I can)
Once again I am alone
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
Setting 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?
Gone a little far this time for something
How was I to know?
How was I to know this high came rushing?
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
There I go
Quite a show for a loner in L.A.
Asking how I managed to end up in this place
And I couldn't get away
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 speeding by like a train
Like a train
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
Setting free, must be tough

Starting to sober up
Has it been long enough?
