Borderlines from 50 Songs by Shane Cooley

Borderlines

I crossed your borderlines
I hundred thousand times
Know where your landmines are
But every time I crossed
Another battle lost
I’ll never win this war

Borderlines on my mind
Borderlines on your skin
You don’t have to tell me where you’ve been
As long as I don’t have to let you in

We made our neutral ground
Waved that white flag around
Still we couldn’t make peace
I found your poisoned cup
You tore that treaty up
The fire just wouldn’t cease

Borderlines on my mind
Borderlines on your skin
You don’t have to tell me where you’ve been
As long as I don’t have to let you in

I cast my fishing line
Across the wooden sign
The one that says keep out
I barely sleep at night
With all the battle cries
I swear I hear them shout

Borderlines on my mind
Borderlines on your skin
You don’t have to tell me where you’ve been
As long as I don’t have to let you in
