borderline
6HOST Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need more of this
Before we quit
You throw a fit
And that's all I get
I need more of this
I'm wrong I bet
My fault I guess
Let's argue less
And start saying yes
I need more of this

The borderline
Between your thoughts and mine
Doesn't seem that far
We always stay where we are
Let's leave our home behind
You make sense
Even clearer when
We're 2 past our last drink
& There's no reason to think
It's way too late my friend
So come back in
Let's both get lost again
Remember early in may
I said I'd wait every day
For you to come back in
(Come back in)

I need more of this
Before we quit
You throw a fit
And that's all I get
I need more of this
I'm wrong I bet
My fault I guess
Let's argue less




And start saying yes
I need more of this
