Lyrics Thomas Sanders – On The Borderline

I’m standing on the borderline
What should I bring or leave behind
From who I was
For who I’m gonna be?

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

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

I’m standing on the borderline
Between two states — I’m petrified
To push ahead or turn back homewardly

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

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

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?

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

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