On the Borderline
Thomas Sanders
[Intro]
I'm standing on the borderline
What should I bring or leave behind
From who I was
For who I'm gonna be?

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I’m thinking way back
To where I'm from
To the things I had
I feel I’ve forgotten something
I’m sure that it's probably nothing
But that’s based more on fear than on fact
[Chorus]
I'm standing on the borderline
Between two states- I'm petrified
To push ahead or turn back homewardly

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
A feeling’s not a thing you own
But it can be lost
I just want to be home
‘Cause home's where the heart is
And when I departed
I might’ve abandoned them both

[Chorus]
I'm standing on the borderline
Between two states-- I'm petrified
I'm standing on the borderline
What should I bring or leave behind
From who I was
For who I'm gonna be?
[Bridge]
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 no!
I can’t go back

Youth seemed sweeter
But if I could return, all I’ve learned would be forfeit
I won’t go back

[Outro]
I’m followed by the borderline as I pace forward in my life
Seeking the times I’ll long for once they leave me
