On the Borderline
[Verse 1]
Oooh uh-oh uh-oh oooh
I'm standing on the borderline
What should I bring or leave behind
From who I was
For who I'm gonna be?
[Pre-Chorus]
I still haven't packed my bags
It's time to go
And I could not care less
So now, I'll miss the train
A walk's still progress made
I just won't arrive quite as fast
[Chorus]
I'm thinking way back
To where I from
To the things I had
I feel I've forgotten something
I'm sure it's probably nothing
But that's based more on fear than on fact
I'm standing on the borderline
Between two states -- I'm petrified
To push ahead or turn back homewardly
[Verse 2]
I'm a shadow of the past
The shadow of a boy
A boy who couldn't last
They said: "son, don't change"
And I keep hoping they won't see how much I have
[Pre-Chorus]
A feeling's not a thing you own
But it can be lost
I just wanna be home
Cause home's where the heart is
And when I departed
I might've abounded them both
[Chorus]
I'm standing on the borderline
Between two states-- I'm pertrified
I'm standing on the borderline
What should I bring or leave behind
From who I was
For who I'm gonna be?
[Outro]
I'd like to say: I'm the same person from yesterday
Nothing's changed"
'cause yesterday I was eager to see what awaited
I wasn't jaded
But nooo! Uh-oh uh-oh
I can't go back
Youth seemed sweeter
But if I could return, all I've learned would forfeit
I won't go back
Uh-oh uh-oh oooo ooo uh-oh uh-oh oh oh oh
I'm followed by the Borderline as I pace forward in my life
Seeking the times I'll long for once the leave me
