Borderline
Shout Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living on a borderline, And, oh, I know it's a matter of time,
When bleeding hearts like never before, we'll even up the score.
Living life out on the wild side,
It's time it's known; we're in the danger zone, Is it too late, oh, to make a change?
Have we sealed the fate before a soul exchange?
Living, oh, you know we're living on the borderline,
Living, it's all taking, and no giving, See the warning sign.
Ain't telling lies, what's done is done,

Well, I hear the cries of our decisions,
And no, I don't know where it's at, you know it ain't my place,
One thing I know for sure backfire's in the face.
Living, oh, you know we're living on the borderline,
Living, all taking, and no giving,
See the warning sign,
Living, you gotta know we're living on the borderline,
Living the lies, See the warning sign.
Living, oh, you know we're living on the borderline,
Living, it's all taking, and no giving,
See the warning sign,
Living, you gotta know we're living on the borderline,

Living, it's all taking, and no giving,
See the warning sign.
