’60s-sounding Welsh blues singer Aimee Anne Duffy - known professionally as Duffy - released her debut single Rockferry in December 2007. After relocating to London in 2006, she came to the attention of Rough Trade.

Bernard Butler of Suede worked extensively on the album, lending it an authentic and wonderfully produced lush ’60s sound.

Borderline
Duffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You love me
Won't let me be
I don't want to be
Your prisoner
So baby
Won't you set me free
Stop playing
Finish what you start
When you make
My love come down
If you want me
Let me know
Baby, let it show
Honey
Don't you fool around
Just try to understand
I've given all I can
Cause you got
The best of me
Chorus:
Borderline
Feels like I'm going
To lose my mind
You just keep on
Pushing my love
Over the borderline
Something in your eyes
Is makin' such
A fool of me
When you hold me
In your arms you love me
Till I just can't see
But then you let me down
When I look around
Baby
You just can't be found
Stop driving me away
I just wanna stay
There's something
I just got to say
Just try to understand
I've given all I can
Cause you got
The best of me
(Chorus 2x)
Someday we'll be together
Someday we'll be together
Yes, we will
Someday we'll be together
Someday we'll be together
Someday we'll be together
(Chorus)
In the song Borderline by Duffy, the singer is expressing her feelings of being trapped in a relationship that is not fulfilling. She feels that something in the way her partner loves her is holding her back and she does not want to be a prisoner anymore. She asks her partner to stop playing with her heart and to finish what they started. She wants her partner to be clear about their feelings and to stop fooling around.
In the chorus, the singer feels like she is going to lose her mind because her partner keeps pushing her love over the borderline. She feels like she is being made a fool of and when she looks around, her partner can't be found. She pleads for her partner to stop driving her away and to let her stay. The singer has given her all in this relationship, but it feels like her partner is not reciprocating.
The song ends on a hopeful note with the repetition of the phrase "someday we'll be together". The singer is not sure when that day will come, but she is still holding onto hope that things will work out in the end.
Line by Line Meaning
Something in the way
There's a feeling in the way we interact
You love me
That's causing my confusion
Won't let me be
I can't escape this feeling
I don't want to be
I'd rather not be
Your prisoner
Trapped in this cycle
So baby
Please
Won't you set me free
Let me go
Stop playing
Stop messing with
With my heart
My feelings
Finish what you start
Committing to this or ending it
When you make
Every time you cause
My love come down
My heart to feel heavy
If you want me
If you truly desire me
Let me know
Be open and honest
Baby, let it show
Make sure it's clear
Honey
Dear
Don't you fool around
Don't play games
Just try to understand
Have empathy for me
I've given all I can
I'm at my limit
Cause you got
Because you've taken
The best of me
All that I can give
Borderline
Teetering on the brink
Feels like I'm going
Sensation of falling
To lose my mind
Becoming insane
You just keep on
Continuously
Pushing my love
Testing my feelings
Over the borderline
Beyond threshold of love's patience
Something in your eyes
There's a look you give
Is makin' such
It's causing
A fool of me
Me to act irrationally
When you hold me
Every time you embrace me
In your arms you love me
I feel loved
Till I just can't see
It becomes my only focus
But then you let me down
Then you hurt me
When I look around
When I try to find you
Baby
Dear
You just can't be found
You're absent
Stop driving me away
Stop pushing me to leave
I just wanna stay
I want to remain
There's something
I need to articulate
I just got to say
I need to express
Someday we'll be together
Eventually we'll unite
Yes, we will
It will happen
