Borderline

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your jacket on the kitchen chair Like you might stay, like you might disappear We talk in circles till the kettle sings Then call it fine and never fix a thing [Pre-Chorus] One hand on the door, one hand on my waist We keep saying “later” like later has a place If I let you in, will you let me down? We’re close enough to touch, too far to turn around [Chorus] We’re on the borderline, yours and mine One more word and we could cross that line You pull me close, then you change your mind We’re on the borderline, borderline Say you’re all in, but you keep one foot outside I can’t live forever with the truth half-alive Love me like you mean it, or leave me behind We’re on the borderline, borderline [Verse 2] Your name lights up, I let it ring twice I know your “sorry” by the way you type You know the coffee that I take at dawn But miss the little ways I’m holding on [Pre-Chorus] One hand on the door, one hand on my waist We keep saying “later” like later has a place If I let you in, will you let me down? We’re close enough to touch, too far to turn around [Chorus] We’re on the borderline, yours and mine One more word and we could cross that line You pull me close, then you change your mind We’re on the borderline, borderline Say you’re all in, but you keep one foot outside I can’t live forever with the truth half-alive Love me like you mean it, or leave me behind We’re on the borderline, borderline [Bridge] No more almost, no more “we’ll see” Don’t make a home out of uncertainty If you want this, meet me here tonight If you don’t, don’t keep me on the borderline [Final Chorus] We’re on the borderline, yours and mine One more word and we could cross that line You pull me close, now don’t change your mind We’re on the borderline, borderline Say you’re all in, let the whole world know No more half a heart, no more moving slow Love me like you mean it, make the choice this time We’re on the borderline, borderline [Outro] Yours and mine Make the choice this time Borderline
