[Verse 1]
Well, I bought a new suit
I got my uncle's old brown wingtip shoes
I cleaned myself up the best that I could
Spent an hour in the mirror
Just tryin' to make things disappear
When the magician runs out of tricks
That's when he starts runnin'
And you came in wearin' that dress
That made me look like even more of a mess
You smiled and asked if I knew where I was headin'
So I made some kind of joke
You didn't laugh and neither one of us spoke
And right then, darlin', I knew that you wеre sure somethin'
[Chorus]
Ooh, strandеd on the boarder
Back and forth 'cross the interstate line
Tryin' to find somewhere that I might stay
But now I know, hey, I know you are the place
[Verse 2]
So I ran, tried to hide
From Dallas to Denver to the Upper West Side
Tried Colombus, then London out in the rain
Valencia came and it went
So I roamed around in Brighton a bit
And even Amsterdam just wasn't enough for the pain
[Chorus]
Ooh, stranded on the boarder
Back and forth 'cross the interstate line
Tryin' to find somewhere that I might stay
But now I know, hey, I know you are the place
[Bridge]
I can feel the gravity pullin' me home
Just like an ancient sailor with the sky and the stars
Maps that I followed before, they all led me to nothin'
So now I just find myself runnin' right back where you are
[Chorus]
Ooh, stranded on the boarder
Back and forth 'cross the interstate line
Tryin' to find somewhere that I might stay
But now I know, hey, I know you are the place
