[Verse 1]
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed
Drunk in the front room, I tried, but it won't stick
The edge of an argument stings on the tip of my tongue (You have something to say?)
Don't you want me like you used to?
We could dance in slow motion to get through
Watching you sleep from the hallway instead of the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you were so hard to find
I want you all the time
[Chorus]
Remember what you loved me for
Even when I'm on the floor
Hope is hard to find
In between the things I've said
A version of me in your head
But I could nevеr toe the borderlinе
[Verse 2]
You keep asking, "Is this what you wanted?"
Punched holes in the walls, I'm just trying to be honest
I'm stressed out, they don't understand me
But you said you do
How do you feel? Can I help you?
I don't answer, but I know that I should
But I'm glad that you stayed till the morning
Like you said you would, mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you were so hard to find
And I want you all the time
[Chorus]
Remember what you loved me for
Even when I'm on the floor
Hope is hard to find
In between the things I've said
A version of me in your head
But I could never toe the borderline
[Bridge]
I don't really know where I spent half the night
If you tell me "go" then that would be alright
Baby, hold me close 'cause I don't want to fight
'Cause I want you all the time
[Chorus]
Remember what you loved me for
Even when I'm on the floor
Hope is hard to find
In between the things I've said
A version of me in your head
But I could never toe the borderline
I could never toe the borderline
[Outro]
But I want you all the time

“Borderline” was the last song I’d written for the album. It’s a very literal conversational song, and the production is all so close. I wanted it to feel like you are in the room there with us. Sometimes when a song is written with this pace, with a sort of gentleness to it, there is this tendency...
’Borderline' was the last song that I wrote for the album. The situation in that song is that met somebody new and they were so unconditionally loving, like I’d never experienced before, and just didn’t know how to take it. I realised I’d been indefinitely affected by this relationship that had come...
