Border Lyrics

You could be an angel, babe
And I wouldn’t know it, I wouldn’t get in the way
Life’s been passin’ by, passin’ me up
And I’m holdin’ out for what it’s worth
‘Cause all I got is me and my faith (My faith)
That I’ll fall hard, far too keep down
And it’s takin’ me far from grounded
But it means somethin’ that you’re proud

‘Cause I fight to stay way too many days
And I drag my feet through too many ways
Bigger than I can swim
Then I start again

Let’s leave California
Maybe I need to cross the border
Away from my demons and disorders
Nothin’ could catch us if we’re runnin’ forward
And maybe everyone here would call me crazy
And they would tell ’em it’s the borderline
No one can catch me if I’m runnin’ forward

And my exes wanna see me in a padded room
But I think need nature and a Valium
You surpass my outbursts and my attitude
So I ain’t mad at you, I still ain’t mad at you
If they lock me up would you come visit?
And if they make me stay would you consider stayin’?
And waitin’ inside, have you made up your mind?
I’m medicated this time

‘Cause I fight to stay way too many days
And I drag my feet through too many waves
Bigger than I can swim
Then I start again

Let’s leave California
Maybe I need to cross the border
Away from my demons and disorders
Nothin’ could catch us if we’re runnin’ forward
And maybe everyone here would call me crazy
And they would tell ’em it’s the borderline

I’d love to take care of myself
But you do not get to turn the thing my life
And saved me from myself
And my explanation for what’s been wrong with me my entire life
You do not get to turn that into something for you to use
