Borderline
Solange feat. Q‐Tip Lyrics

We been lovers on a mission
We have been on a journey together as lovers

We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
We have been wholeheartedly committed to each other throughout our journey

But whats love without a mission
Having a purpose and direction is essential for a meaningful relationship

So let's take an intermission
Let's take a break to reflect on our journey and re-evaluate our purpose

You know I have the world to think about
I have my own priorities and responsibilities to consider

And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
I need to take some time for myself to figure things out

Because the last thing that I wanna do
I don't want to make a rash decision and regret it later

Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
I don't want to feel like I am on the edge of an uncertain situation

So let's take it off tonight
Let's remove the stress and pressure from our relationship tonight

Break it off tonight
Let's end things tonight, if that is the right decision for us

Baby let's know when to let go
We need to understand when it is time to move on

Know when to let go
We need to acknowledge when it is appropriate to end things

Take off tonight
Let's forget our worries and enjoy the moment tonight

Break it up tonight
Let's put an end to this difficult situation tonight

Baby I know you're tired
I understand that you are exhausted from our journey

Know I'm tired
I am also exhausted from our journey

Baby it's war outside these walls
The world can be a difficult and challenging place

Baby it's war outside these doors, yeah
The challenges we face are not limited to our relationship

It's safe place tonight
Tonight we can find safety and comfort in our relationship

Let's play safe tonight
Let's not take unnecessary risks tonight

Baby I know what you're fighting for
I understand what is important to you and what you are trying to achieve

Baby you know what I'm fighting for
You understand what is important to me and what I am trying to achieve

Baby I've been more than a woman
I have overcome challenges and exceeded expectations as a woman

We've been lovers on a mission
Our journey as lovers has been purposeful and meaningful

It's safe place tonight
Tonight we have the opportunity to find safety and comfort in each other

Let's play it safe tonight
Let's avoid any unnecessary stress or risks tonight

Baby we've been lovers on a mission (all the way)
We have been fully committed to each other throughout our journey as lovers

So let's take an intermission
Let's take a break to reflect on our journey and re-evaluate our purpose
