Border

You could be an angel, babe

And I wouldn't know it, I wouldn't give a damn, no way

Life has been passin' by, passin' me up

And I'm holdin' on for what it's worth

'Cause all I got is me and my faith (my faith)

That I fall hard, fought to keep down

And it's takin' me far from grounded

But it means somethin' that you're proud

'Cause I fight to stay way too many days

And I drag my feet through too many waves

Bigger than I can swim

Then I start again

Let's leave California

Maybe I need to cross the border

Away from my demons and disorders

Nothin' can catch us if we're runnin' forward

And maybe everyone here would call me crazy

And then you'd tell 'em it's the borderline

No one can catch me if I'm runnin' forward

And my exes wanna see me in a padded room

But I think I need nature and a Valium

You saw past my outbursts and my attitude

So I ain't mad at you, I still ain't mad at you

If they lock me up would you come visit?

And if they make me stay would you consider stayin'?

And waitin' outside, have you made up your mind?

I'm medicated this time

'Cause I fight to stay way too many days

And I drag my feet through too many waves

Bigger than I can swim

And then I start again

Let's leave California

Maybe I need to cross a border

Away from my demons and disorders

Nothin' can catch us if we're runnin' forward

And maybe everyone here would call me crazy

And then you'd tell 'em it's the borderline

I left to take care of myself

And you do not get to lie (don't lie)

You do not get to turn the thing that saved my life (don't make it up)

(Don't say I did something that I did not do, I'm not crazy)

And my explanation for what's been wrong with me my entire life

(You do not get to turn that into something for you to use)
