lyrics

THE
BORDER


I need a drink
Can you show me to the water?

You pick the pieces
And you throw them into the pot
You chase your shadows
You take on board the whole lot
You get the picture
You turn away
You feel conflicted
But you choose to stay
And in the end you don’t know if it’s real
Or just looks that way to you

Take me away
Take me away

Every time I see you you say something
That sneaks you a bit deeper
into my heart
I wonder what it would be like
For once to play the reciprocal part?
So many echoes
So many warnings
So many sunsets
Too few dawnings
I want to love you but I don’t know
if I oughta

Take me
Take me to the border
Take me
Right up to the line

MIDDLE EIGHT

Okay
We’ve been here before
Seems fine
And you know feelings change
Let’s check this out
Don’t bolt the gate
We’re only as deep as the friendships that we make
This is real
Don’t treat me like a fake



BREAK

I’ll pick you up and I’ll show you
to the border
I want to love you but I don’t know
if I oughta
So many echoes
So many warnings
So many sunsets
Too few dawnings
But every time I see you
you say something
That snakes you a bit deeper
into my heart

Take me
Take me to the border
Take me
Right up to the line
(So many echoes
So many warnings)
Take me
Take me to the border
(Many echoes
Many warnings)
Take me
I’m feeling fine
(So many sunsets
Too few dawnings)
Take me
I’m ready for your order
(Sunsets
Dawnings)
Take me
It’s right this time
(Echoes
Warnings)

I need a drink
Can you show me to the water?
